Ingredients:
– 4 large flour tortillas
– 1 can of black beans, drained and rinsed
– 1 cup of shredded cheddar cheese
– 1/2 cup of diced tomatoes
– 1/4 cup of chopped cilantro
– 1/2 teaspoon of cumin
– 1/2 teaspoon of chili powder
– Salt and pepper, to taste
– Cooking spray
Instructions:
1. Heat a large skillet over medium heat. While the skillet is heating up, prepare your ingredients by draining and rinsing the black beans, shredding the cheddar cheese, dicing the tomatoes, and chopping the cilantro.
2. Place one tortilla in the skillet and sprinkle half of the shredded cheddar cheese evenly over the tortilla. Add half of the black beans, diced tomatoes, and chopped cilantro on top of the cheese.
3. Sprinkle the cumin, chili powder, salt, and pepper over the bean and cheese mixture. Top with the remaining shredded cheddar cheese.
4. Place another tortilla on top to create a quesadilla sandwich. Press down gently with a spatula to help the ingredients stick together.
5. Cook the quesadilla for 2-3 minutes on each side, or until the tortilla is golden brown and the cheese is melted. You may need to adjust the heat if the quesadilla is browning too quickly.
6. Once the quesadilla is cooked to your liking, remove it from the skillet and let it cool for a minute before slicing it into wedges.
7. Repeat the process with the remaining tortillas and ingredients to make the second quesadilla.
8. Serve the bean and cheese quesadillas hot with your favorite toppings, such as sour cream, salsa, or guacamole. Enjoy these delicious quesadillas as a snack, lunch, or dinner!
