Cooking Instructions:

1. TO PREPARE THE VEGETABLES:
Peel slice the red onion then place into a bowl and pour over the citrus pickle. Season with salt, toss to combine and set aside. Finely slice the mushrooms. Place the black beans into a sieve, rinse under cool running water and drain well.
2. TO MAKE THE BBQ BLACK BEAN FILLING:
Place a non-stick frying pan over a medium-high heatwith a drizzle of oil. Once hot, add the mushrooms and cook for 2-3 mins. Addthe black beans and smoky BBQ sauce, season with salt and cook for 1-2 mins.
3. TO MAKE THE QUESADILLAS:
Open the pack of wholemeal tortillas and lay one flat on a clean surface. Spread the black bean filling over half of the tortilla. Sprinkle with the cheesy peanut crumb and fold the other half of the tortilla over the filling, pressing gently to create a half-moon shape. Repeat with the other tortillas.
4. TO COOK THE QUESADILLAS:
Wipe out the pan and place back over a medium heatwith a drizzle of oil. Once hot, carefully place the assembled quesadillas intothe pan and cook for 2-3 mins each side, or until golden. You may need to dothis in batches, adjusting the heat as necessary.
