Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 pieces Flour tortillas
- 1 cup Shredded cheddar cheese
- 1 medium Red bell pepper, diced
- 1 medium Yellow bell pepper, diced
- 1 small Zucchini, finely diced
- 0.5 medium Red onion, finely diced
- 0.5 cup Corn kernels (fresh, canned, or frozen)
- 0.5 cup Black beans, rinsed and drained
- 2 tablespoons Olive oil
- 0.5 teaspoon Ground cumin
- 0.5 teaspoon Chili powder
- 0.5 teaspoon Salt
- 0.25 teaspoon Black pepper
- 2 tablespoons Fresh cilantro, chopped
- as needed Sour cream or guacamole (optional)
Instructions
Heat 1 tablespoon of olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat.
Add the diced red and yellow bell peppers, zucchini, red onion, and corn. Sauté for 3-4 minutes until the vegetables begin to soften.
Stir in the black beans, ground cumin, chili powder, salt, and black pepper. Cook for another 2 minutes, stirring occasionally. Remove from heat and stir in the chopped cilantro.
Heat a second skillet or griddle over medium heat and lightly grease with the remaining tablespoon of olive oil.
Place one flour tortilla in the skillet. Sprinkle 1/4 cup of shredded cheddar cheese evenly over half of the tortilla.
Spoon approximately 1/4 of the vegetable mixture on top of the cheese, then fold the tortilla in half to create a semicircle.
Cook the quesadilla for 2-3 minutes on each side, or until the tortilla is golden and crispy, and the cheese is melted.
Repeat with the remaining tortillas, cheese, and vegetable mixture.
Slice each quesadilla into wedges and serve warm with sour cream or guacamole, if desired.
