Black Bean And Corn Quesadilla

Ingredients:
– 1 can black beans, drained and rinsed
– 1 cup corn kernels
– 1 teaspoon cumin
– 1/2 teaspoon chili powder
– Salt and pepper to taste
– 4 large flour tortillas
– 2 cups shredded cheese (such as cheddar or Mexican blend)
– Olive oil, for cooking
– Optional toppings: salsa, sour cream, avocado slices, chopped cilantro

Instructions:
1. In a medium bowl, mix together the black beans, corn, cumin, chili powder, salt, and pepper. This flavorful bean and corn mixture will be the star of your quesadillas.

2. Place a large skillet over medium heat and drizzle with olive oil. Lay a tortilla flat in the skillet and spread a generous amount of the bean and corn mixture over half of the tortilla.

3. Sprinkle a layer of shredded cheese over the bean and corn mixture. The cheese will help hold everything together and add a delicious gooeyness to your quesadilla.

4. Carefully fold the empty side of the tortilla over the filling to create a half-moon shape. Press down gently with a spatula to help the cheese melt and the tortilla crisp up.

5. Cook the quesadilla for 2-3 minutes on each side, or until the tortilla is golden brown and the cheese is melted. You can adjust the cooking time based on your preferred level of crispiness.

6. Once the quesadilla is cooked to your liking, carefully transfer it to a cutting board and let it cool for a minute before slicing it into wedges. This will help the cheese set and prevent the filling from spilling out.

7. Repeat the process with the remaining tortillas and filling until you have made all the quesadillas. You can keep them warm in a low oven while you finish cooking the rest.

8. Serve the Black Bean and Corn Quesadillas hot with your favorite toppings such as salsa, sour cream, avocado slices, or chopped cilantro. These toppings add extra flavor and freshness to the dish.

Enjoy these tasty quesadillas as a satisfying meal on their own or pair them with a side salad or some Mexican rice for a complete and wholesome dinner. With their delicious combination of flavors and textures, these Black Bean and Corn Quesadillas are sure to become a new favorite in your recipe rotation.
