Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 pieces Flour tortillas
- 1 can (15 oz) Black beans, drained and rinsed
- 4 ounces Goat cheese, crumbled
- 1 cup Cheddar cheese, shredded
- 0.25 cup Red onion, finely diced
- 0.25 cup Fresh cilantro, chopped
- 1 tablespoon Olive oil
- 1 teaspoon Cumin
- 1 teaspoon Chili powder
- 0.5 teaspoon Garlic powder
- 0.5 teaspoon Salt
- 0.25 teaspoon Black pepper
Instructions
In a medium bowl, combine the black beans, red onion, cilantro, cumin, chili powder, garlic powder, salt, and pepper. Mash the mixture lightly with a fork, leaving some beans whole for texture.
Lay the tortillas flat on a clean surface. Spread 1 ounce of goat cheese evenly over half of each tortilla.
Spoon the black bean mixture over the goat cheese, dividing it equally among the tortillas.
Sprinkle shredded cheddar cheese over the black bean mixture, then fold each tortilla in half to form a semicircle.
Heat a large skillet over medium heat and add 1/2 tablespoon of olive oil.
Place one or two quesadillas (depending on skillet size) in the pan and cook for 2-3 minutes on each side, or until the tortilla is golden brown and the cheese is melted. Repeat with the remaining quesadillas, adding more olive oil if needed.
Remove the quesadillas from the skillet, slice them into wedges, and serve hot with your favorite salsa, guacamole, or sour cream.
