Black Bean and Cheese Quesadillas

Simple and easy, the perfect lunch or party appetizer! These Black Bean and Cheese Quesadillas are so simple and full of flavor. I seasoned my beans and corn then added them to the tortilla with cheese. 

Quesadillas are a great quick lunch option that my kids love!

I love making them for the kids cause I know they are getting a tasty and healthy meal.

Also I never complain when I can dip them in salsa and sour cream either!

These are a vegetarian quesadilla but check out some of my other quesadillas like these delicious BBQ Chicken Quesadillas.

Ingredients:

This recipe is so simple to make. I only used 6 simple ingredients that you might already have in your kitchen right now!

• Tortillas
• Corn
• Black Beans
• Cumin
• Cheese
• Butter

Directions:

Step one: First you want to drain and rinse your corn and black beans. Place your beans and corn in a small bowl and season with cumin then mix.

Step two: Heat skillet over medium heat and ½ teaspoon of butter.

I used about ½ a teaspoon for each quesadilla to grease the skillet. I

f you are making more than one at a time you can add more butter at each time.

Step three: Once your skillet is heated and butter has melted place a tortilla in the skillet.

To that tortilla add ½ cup of shredded cheese along with a spoonful or two of your seasoned beans and corn.

Fold in half and allow to cook for a few minutes before flipping.

Step four: Cook until cheese is melted then remove from the skillet. Repeat with the remaining tortillas.

Black Bean and Cheese Quesadillas Serving Options:

I love serving these quesadillas topped with fresh diced cilantro and sour cream. Share in the comments your favorite thing to serve with them.

Corn and Bean Options:

For this recipe, I used both canned black beans and corn. If you want to use something else check out these tips.

• Frozen corn: If you want to use frozen corn you will want to fully thaw it before using. Once thawed you can follow the remaining instructions.
• Fresh corn: If you would like to use fresh corn you will need to cook until softened first. Once soft drain well and continue with the remaining instructions.
• Dry beans: When using dry beans you would want these prepared before adding them to your quesadillas. Cook them according to the package instructions then continue with the remaining instructions.
