Ingredients:

2 large Sunkist oranges
3 1/2 c. chopped watermelon
1 c. canned chunk pineapple, packed in juice
1/4 c. dried cranberries
4 (11 inch) wheat tortillas
1 c. low-fat shredded cheddar cheese
1 c. canned black beans, rinsed
3/4 c. frozen sweet corn, thawed and drained
6 large canned California black ripe olives, each sliced into 4 slices
12 slices of fresh California avocado, about 3/4 of avocado
3/4 c. salsa
6 T. fat-free sour cream

Instructions:

Peel the oranges, break into segments, cut each segment into 4 pieces and place in a mixing bowl. Add the watermelon, pineapple, and cranberries toss gently. Refrigerate until ready to serve.

Place the tortillas on cutting board. On one side of each arrange 2 T. cheese, 1/4 c. black beans, 3 T. sweet corn, and 6 olive slices. Top with 2 T. cheese. Fold over tortilla to make a half moon. Repeat to make 4.

Heat a large non-stick pan over medium high heat. Add two quesadillas and brown for 3 minutes. Turn over and brown other side, 3–5 minutes. Remove from pan and cook remaining two quesadillas. Cut each quesadilla into 3 triangles. On each serving plate arrange 2 quesadilla triangles, and top with 2 avocado slices, 2 T. salsa, and 1 T. sour cream. Serve approximately 1 c. watermelon salad with each plate.
