This Black Bean and Corn Quesadilla recipe is a quick, easy, and satisfying meal that’s perfect for a weeknight dinner or a casual lunch.
Step 1: Sauté Onion and Bell Pepper
In a large pan or skillet, heat a little olive oil (about 1 tablespoon) over medium heat.
Add the diced onion and bell pepper to the pan.
Sauté the vegetables until softened, about 5 minutes, stirring occasionally.
Step 2: Add Remaining Filling Ingredients
Add the drained and rinsed black beans, corn kernels, cumin, chili powder, salt, and pepper to the pan.
Stir well to combine all the ingredients.
Step 3: Cook Filling
Cook the filling mixture for another 3-4 minutes, until heated through, stirring occasionally.
Step 4: Prepare Tortillas
Heat a separate large pan or griddle over medium heat. Lightly coat the pan with olive oil (or use a cooking spray).
Step 5: Assemble Quesadillas
Place one tortilla in the heated pan.
Spread a portion of the black bean and corn mixture over half of the tortilla.
Fold the tortilla over to form a half-moon shape.
Step 6: Cook Quesadillas
Cook the quesadilla until the tortilla is golden brown and crispy, about 2-3 minutes per side. Press down gently with a spatula to help the filling adhere to the tortilla.
Step 7: Repeat
Remove the cooked quesadilla from the pan and repeat steps 5 and 6 with the remaining tortillas and filling.
Step 8: Serve
Cut the quesadillas into wedges and serve immediately.
