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
- 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.
- Stir in the thawed corn, black beans, cumin, and garlic powder, cooking for an additional 2-3 minutes until everything is heated through.
- On a clean surface, lay out one tortilla and sprinkle half of the shredded cheddar cheese evenly over one half of the tortilla.
- Spoon a generous amount of the veggie mixture over the cheese, then fold the tortilla in half to cover the filling.
- 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.
- 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.
- Serve the quesadillas warm with sour cream and salsa on the side, garnished with fresh cilantro if desired.
