Body Step Launch & Easy Vegetarian Mexican

Hey All! Hope you're having an enjoyable week thus far. Yesterday night, we launched the new Body Step. It is a fun and FAST release. Few pictures from the launch:

I just finished up work and prepped our dinner for tonight, easy vegetarian quesadillas and "refried" black beans. For the quesadillas, I defrosted frozen corn and mixed it with black beans and chili powder:

I grabbed a bag of 2% milk cheddar cheese:

I then sprayed 1 tortilla with cooking spray and placed it on a hot skillet. I topped the tortilla with the cheese and then the corn/bean mixture. I sprayed a second tortilla and placed it on top of the mess, sprayed side up:

Cook until brown, flip, cook other side until brown. Remove from heat and cut into triangles.

I will serve the quesadillas with salsa and "refried" black beans. For the beans, I cooked up some chopped onions. I then tossed some partially drained, partially smashed (courtesy of my magic bullet) black beans, 1 teaspoon of chili powder and 1 teaspoon of cumin into the pan. Cook over low heat for ~ 5 minutes. The result:

Deliciousness! Now, I'm off to teach Body Attack. How is your week going in terms of workouts? Have you decided to try out something new this year?
