Quesadillas with Caramelized Onion, Chard, White Beans, and Swiss

Quesadillas don't just have to be Mexican. We pack ours with leafy chard and creamy beans for a quick, healthy dinner!
Smarts: True caramelized onions take about 30 minutes to make, but you can get close enough in 10. However, if you want to go the whole way, make a lot more and freeze!

Make

Heat oven to 350F (or 177C) degrees.
Heat a skillet over medium heat. Add cooking oil and then onions to heated oil. Saute for 10 minutes until softened. If the pan ever looks too dry, add a splash of water. Finish with vinegar and saute for another minute before adding chard leaves and thyme. Saute until wilted and remove from heat.
Divide ingredients across tortillas. Place ingredients on one half of the tortilla, layering cheese, beans, and onions / chard. Fold tortilla over and place onto a sheet pan. Once they’re all done, heat in the oven for 8 to 10 minutes.
While tortillas are baking, cube avocado.
When quesadillas are done, toss vinaigrette with citrus, avocado, and greens, and enjoy with quesadillas!
