Black Beans Quesadilla

Black Beans Quesadilla is loaded with beans since this recipe is rich in plant based protein, fiber and iron. This is one of those vegetarian recipes that meat-eaters won’t feel deprived of when eating.

Ingredients

- 1-½ tsp vegetable oil
- ½ onion, finely diced
- 1 clove garlic, minced
- 15 oz black beans, rinsed & drained
- ½ green bell pepper, chopped
- 1 tomato chopped
- 10 oz frozen corn
- 12 inches flour tortillas
½ cup shredded cheddar cheese

Method

1. Heat 1 tablespoon oil in a skillet over medium heat, and saute the onion and garlic until soft. Mix in beans, bell pepper, tomatoes, and corn; cook until heated through.

2. Spread 6 tortillas with equal amounts of the bean and vegetable mixture. Sprinkle with equal amounts of the Cheddar cheese, and top with the remaining tortillas to form quesadillas.

3. Heat 1/4 cup oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Place quesadillas in the skillet and cook, turning once, until cheese is melted and both sides are lightly browned.
