Print Recipe

These Corn & Black Bean Quesadillas are a quick, hearty, and delicious vegetarian meal packed with flavorful vegetables, melted cheese, and perfectly seasoned beans.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil
  • 1 small onion, diced
  • 1 garlic clove, minced
  • 1 cup corn kernels (fresh, canned, or frozen)
  • 1 can (15 oz) black beans, drained and rinsed
  • 1/2 teaspoon cumin
  • 1/2 teaspoon chili powder
  • Salt and pepper to taste
  • 1 1/2 cups shredded cheddar or Mexican blend cheese
  • 4 large flour tortillas
  • Optional: chopped cilantro, salsa, sour cream, lime wedges

Instructions

  1. Heat olive oil in a skillet over medium heat. Add diced onion and cook until softened, about 3-4 minutes.
  2. Add minced garlic and cook for another 30 seconds until fragrant.
  3. Stir in corn, black beans, cumin, chili powder, salt, and pepper. Cook for 3-4 minutes, then remove from heat.
  4. Heat a separate skillet over medium heat. Place a tortilla on the skillet and sprinkle half with shredded cheese, then top with a few spoonfuls of the bean mixture. Add more cheese on top and fold the tortilla over.
  5. Cook for 2-3 minutes on each side until golden brown and cheese is melted.
  6. Repeat with remaining tortillas and filling.
  7. Slice and serve with optional toppings like salsa, sour cream, or lime wedges.

Notes

  • Use whole wheat tortillas for added fiber.
  • Add chopped bell peppers or spinach for extra vegetables.
  • Use a non-stick skillet or lightly grease pan to prevent sticking.
