Instructions

  1. Step 1: In a medium bowl, combine 1/2 cup black beans, 1/4 cup finely diced red bell pepper, 1/4 cup corn kernels, 2 thinly sliced green onions, 1/2 teaspoon ground cumin, and 1/4 teaspoon salt. Mix well.
  2. Step 2: Heat a large nonstick skillet over medium heat and brush with 1 tablespoon olive oil.
  3. Step 3: Place one 6-inch flour tortilla in the skillet, sprinkle 1/4 cup shredded cheddar cheese evenly over half the tortilla, then spoon one-quarter of the bean and veggie mixture on top of the cheese. Fold the tortilla over to form a half-moon.
  4. Step 4: Cook the quesadilla for 2-3 minutes on each side until the tortilla is golden brown and the cheese is melted, pressing gently with a spatula.
  5. Step 5: Repeat with remaining tortillas and filling. Slice each quesadilla into 2-3 wedges and serve warm with sour cream and salsa if desired.
