Description of Fody's Turkey & Black Bean Low FODMAP Quesadillas

Quesadillas couldn’t be easier to make. At their most basic, they are essentially two tortillas sandwiched together, stuffed with cheese and (usually) griddled until golden - but that’s just the beginning! First of all, did you know that many cheeses are low FODMAP? So you can choose from several low FODMAP cheeses that melt beautifully, such as Cheddar, Havarti, and Monterey Jack, to name a few.


For readers wondering if black beans are low FODMAP, this recipe uses canned, drained, and rinsed beans in portions that fit Monash guidance.

This low FODMAP recipe combines brown rice tortillas with a filling of ground turkey sautéed with black beans and Fody Taco Sauce. Then the whole shebang gets covered in cheese, broiled until ooey, gooey, and melty, and served with a lively salsa that begins with Fody Low FODMAP Salsa and adds fresh tomatoes, scallions, and lime juice. Don’t forget the lactose-free sour cream!

About those black beans - Monash University has lab-tested canned, drained, and rinsed black beans to be low FODMAP in 40-gram portions, which equals about 3 tablespoons, and the suggested serving size for this recipe is well within the low FODMAP recommendations. If you’ve been wondering if black beans are low FODMAP, the answer is yes—when measured to the serving size noted here.


Fody's Turkey & Black Bean Low FODMAP Quesadillas Ingredients

Salsa:

  • 1 cup (240 g) Fody Salsa, Mild or Medium

  • 1 medium tomato, cored and diced

  • ¼ cup (16 g) chopped scallion greens

  • 1 to 2 teaspoons lime juice

Quesadilla:

  • 1 tablespoon Fody Garlic-Infused Olive Oil

  • 1-pound (455 g) ground turkey

  • ½ cup (104 g) rinsed and drained canned black beans

  • ¼ cup (60 ml) Fody Taco Sauce

  • 4, low FODMAP brown rice flour tortillas (about 9-inches/23 cm across)

  • 6-ounces (170 g) shredded Monterey Jack cheese

  • Lactose-free sour cream

Directions for Low FODMAP Quesadillas

  • Make the Salsa: Stir the Fody Salsa, chopped tomato, and scallions together in a small bowl. Add the smaller amount of lime juice, taste and add more, if desired; set aside.

  • Make the Quesadillas: Position the rack about 4 inches (10 cm) below the broiler. Preheat broiler to high. Line a baking sheet pan with aluminum foil; set aside.

  • Heat a large skillet over medium heat. Add oil and heat till shimmering, then add turkey and sauté until the turkey is about halfway cooked through. Add the beans and Fody Taco Sauce and keep sautéing until the turkey is cooked all the way through.

  • Place two tortillas on the prepared pan, spaced apart, dividing the turkey/bean mixture between the two tortillas. Scatter about one-third of the cheese equally over both open-faced quesadillas. Gently press remaining tortillas on top of each one. Sprinkle the remaining cheese over each quesadilla, equally divided.

  • Broil until cheese is melted and bubbly, about 2 to 3 minutes. Cut the quesadillas into wedges and serve with the salsa and dollops of lactose-free sour cream.
