Black Bean Quesadillas
These Black Bean Quesadillas are packed with flavor, only require 8 simple ingredients, and they take less than 30 minutes to make!
Equipment
Ingredients
- 15 oz. can black beans, drained and rinsed
- ½ red onion, diced
- ½ bell pepper, any color, diced
- 1 cup frozen sweet corn
- 2 tablespoons taco seasoning*
- 2 cups shredded cheese**
- 6-8 flour tortillas
- 2 tablespoons butter, divided
Instructions
- Start by prepping the ingredients. Drain and rinse the black beans, dice half of a red onion and half of a bell pepper, then grate your cheese if you're using block cheese.
- In a large bowl, add the beans, onion, bell pepper, corn, taco seasoning, and the shredded cheese. Mix all the ingredients together to combine.
- Now assemble the quesadillas. Add about ⅓-1/2 cup of the black bean mixture to one side of a tortilla. Fold the empty side of the tortilla over the filling. Repeat this step until all 6 quesadillas are prepped.
- Heat a large skillet over medium heat and melt ½ tablespoon of butter. Add 2 quesadillas to the skillet. Cook the quesadillas for 1-2 minutes on each side until they are golden brown. Continue cooking each of the quesadillas, adding more butter as needed, until all of the quesadillas are golden brown.
- Cut each quesadilla in half and serve with cilantro lime crema, some fresh chopped cilantro, and any of your favorite toppings. Enjoy!
Notes
- I love making homemade taco seasoning, but you can also use 1 store-bought package as well.
- Any combination of your favorite cheese blend will work just fine.
