- 1 can black beans, drained and rinsed,
- 1 cup corn kernels,
- 1 tsp chili powder,
- 1/2 tsp cumin,
- 1/2 tsp salt,
- 1/4 tsp black pepper,
- 2 cups shredded cheese (Monterey Jack, Cheddar, or a blend),
- 4 large flour tortillas,
- 1 tbsp olive oil,
- 1/4 cup chopped cilantro,
- Sliced avocado and sour cream, for serving,
Mix black beans, corn, chili powder, cumin, salt, and pepper in a bowl. Stir in half of the shredded cheese to integrate.
Spread the filling over half of each tortilla, sprinkle with remaining cheese, then fold over to close. Press gently to seal.
Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Place the folded quesadillas in the skillet and cook until golden brown on both sides, about 3-4 minutes per side. Carefully flip using a spatula.
