Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 pieces Flour tortillas
- 1 cup Shredded cheese (cheddar, mozzarella, or a cheese blend)
- 0.5 cup Bell pepper (any color), diced
- 0.25 cup Red onion, diced
- 0.25 cup Zucchini, diced
- 0.25 cup Corn kernels (fresh, canned, or frozen, thawed if using frozen)
- 0.25 cup Black beans, drained and rinsed
- 1 tablespoon Olive oil
- 0.5 teaspoon Salt
- 0.25 teaspoon Ground black pepper
- 0.25 teaspoon Ground cumin (optional)
Instructions
Heat 1/2 tablespoon of olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat.
Add the diced bell pepper, red onion, zucchini, and corn to the skillet. Cook for 3-4 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the veggies start to soften.
Add the black beans, salt, black pepper, and optional ground cumin. Stir well and cook for an additional 2 minutes. Remove the veggie mixture from the skillet and set it aside.
Wipe the skillet clean with a paper towel, then place it back on medium heat. Add the remaining 1/2 tablespoon of olive oil.
Place one flour tortilla in the skillet. Sprinkle 1/2 cup of shredded cheese evenly across the tortilla.
Spread the cooked veggie mixture evenly on top of the cheese. Sprinkle the remaining 1/2 cup of cheese over the veggies.
Top with the second flour tortilla and gently press it down with a spatula.
Cook for 2-3 minutes, or until the bottom tortilla is golden brown and crispy. Carefully flip the quesadilla using a large spatula and cook the other side for another 2-3 minutes until golden brown and the cheese is melted.
Remove the quesadilla from the skillet and transfer it to a cutting board. Let it cool for 1-2 minutes before slicing into wedges.
Serve immediately with your favorite dips such as salsa, guacamole, or sour cream.
