These veggie quesadillas are a quick, easy, and delicious meal packed with vegetables, black beans, and melty cheese. Perfect for lunch, dinner, or even a hearty snack.

Ingredients

  • 2 teaspoons olive oil
  • 1 red bell pepper, stemmed, seeded, and diced
  • 1/2 cup corn kernels, fresh or frozen
  • 1/2 cup canned black beans, drained and rinsed
  • 1 green onion, chopped
  • 1/2 teaspoon chili powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon cumin
  • Salt and freshly ground black pepper, to taste
  • 2 large flour tortillas
  • 1 cup shredded cheese (cheddar, Monterey Jack, or a mix)
  • Optional toppings: avocado, salsa, sour cream, chopped cilantro

Instructions

  1. Heat the olive oil in a skillet over medium heat. Add the red pepper and cook for 2 minutes.
  2. Add the corn, black beans, green onion, chili powder, cumin, salt, and pepper. Cook for another 2 to 3 minutes, until the veggies are tender. Remove from heat.
  3. Heat a clean skillet over medium heat. Place one tortilla in the skillet and sprinkle half the cheese over half the tortilla.
  4. Spread half the veggie mixture over the cheese and fold the tortilla over to enclose the filling.
  5. Cook for 2 to 3 minutes per side, until the tortilla is golden and the cheese is melted. Repeat with the second tortilla.
  6. Slice into wedges and serve with desired toppings.

Notes

  • You can use any vegetables you have on hand, such as mushrooms, spinach, or zucchini.
  • Swap the cheese for a vegan cheese alternative to make this vegan.
  • Use whole wheat or gluten-free tortillas for a healthier or gluten-free option.
