Ingredients

  • 4 flour tortillas
  • 1 cup shredded cheddar cheese
  • 1 cup chopped bell peppers (red, yellow, or green)
  • 1 cup frozen corn, thawed
  • 1 cup black beans, drained and rinsed
  • 1/2 teaspoon cumin
  • 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil
  • 1/4 cup sour cream (for serving)
  • 1/4 cup salsa (for serving)
  • Fresh cilantro, chopped (optional, for garnish)

Instructions

  1. Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat, then add chopped bell peppers and sauté for about 3-4 minutes until they soften.
  2. Stir in the thawed corn, black beans, cumin, and garlic powder, cooking for an additional 2-3 minutes until everything is heated through.
  3. On a clean surface, lay out one tortilla and sprinkle half of the shredded cheddar cheese evenly over one half of the tortilla.
  4. Spoon a generous amount of the veggie mixture over the cheese, then fold the tortilla in half to cover the filling.
  5. Carefully place the folded quesadilla into the skillet and cook for about 3-4 minutes per side, until the tortilla is golden brown and the cheese is melted.
  6. Remove the quesadilla from the skillet and let it cool for a minute before slicing into wedges. Repeat the process with the remaining tortillas and filling.
  7. Serve the quesadillas warm with sour cream and salsa on the side, garnished with fresh cilantro if desired.
