Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 8 Corn tortillas
- 2 cups Shredded cheddar cheese
- 1 cup Sweet corn kernels
- 1 cup Canned black beans (drained and rinsed)
- 0.5 cup Sliced green onions
- 0.25 cup Chopped fresh cilantro
- 2 tablespoons Butter
- 0.5 teaspoon Salt
- 0.5 teaspoon Black pepper
- Sour cream (optional, for serving)
- Salsa (optional, for serving)
Instructions
Preheat a large skillet over medium heat.
In a mixing bowl, combine the cheddar cheese, sweet corn, black beans, green onions, cilantro, salt, and black pepper.
Place a tortilla on a flat surface and sprinkle a quarter of the filling mixture evenly over half of the tortilla. Fold the other half over the filling to form a half-moon shape.
Repeat with the remaining tortillas and filling.
Melt 1 tablespoon of butter in the skillet. Place two quesadillas in the skillet and cook for about 3-4 minutes on each side, or until the cheese is melted and the tortillas are golden brown and crisp.
Remove the quesadillas from the skillet and set aside on a plate. Repeat with the remaining butter and quesadillas.
Cut each quesadilla into thirds and serve immediately with sour cream and salsa, if desired.
