🥘 Ingredients

14 items

• 4 pieces Large flour tortillas
• 2 cups Vegan cheese (shredded)
• 1 cup Canned black beans (rinsed and drained)
• 1 medium Bell pepper (diced)
• 0.5 cup Sweet corn (frozen or canned, drained)
• 2 stalks Green onions (chopped)
• 2 tablespoons Fresh cilantro (chopped)
• 2 tablespoons Olive oil (for cooking)
• 0.5 teaspoon Cumin powder
• 0.5 teaspoon Chili powder
• 0.25 teaspoon Salt
• 0.25 teaspoon Black pepper
• 0.5 cup Salsa (for serving)
• 0.5 cup Guacamole (for serving)

📝 Instructions

10 steps

1. Heat 1 tablespoon of olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat.

2. Add the diced bell pepper, black beans, corn, and green onions to the skillet. Sauté for 3-4 minutes, or until the vegetables are slightly tender.

3. Sprinkle the mixture with cumin powder, chili powder, salt, and black pepper. Stir to combine evenly, then remove the mixture from the skillet and set aside.

4. Wipe the skillet clean and lower the heat to medium-low. Brush or drizzle the remaining 1 tablespoon of olive oil onto the skillet.

5. Place one tortilla on the skillet, and evenly spread about 1/2 cup of vegan cheese on half of the tortilla. Add 1/4 of the sautéed vegetable mixture on top of the cheese.

6. Fold the tortilla in half to cover the filling and gently press down using a spatula.

7. Cook the quesadilla for 2-3 minutes on one side, or until golden brown and the cheese begins to melt. Carefully flip and cook the other side for another 2-3 minutes.

8. Remove the quesadilla from the skillet and repeat with the remaining tortillas and filling.

9. Once all the quesadillas are cooked, cut them into wedges and garnish with chopped cilantro.

10. Serve warm with salsa and guacamole on the side.
