A quick and delicious Black Bean Veggie Quesadilla loaded with creamy melted cheese, hearty black beans, and colorful bell peppers, perfect for a wholesome lunch or snack.

Ingredients

Scale

Tortillas

  • 4 large flour tortillas

Filling

  • 1 cup canned black beans, drained and rinsed
  • 1 cup shredded cheese (cheddar or Mexican blend)
  • 1 cup diced bell peppers (red, green, or yellow)

Instructions

  1. Prepare the filling: In a bowl, combine the rinsed black beans and diced bell peppers. Mix well to distribute the ingredients evenly.
  2. Assemble the quesadilla: Place one tortilla on a clean surface. Spread half of the black bean and bell pepper mixture evenly over the tortilla, then sprinkle with half of the shredded cheese. Top with another tortilla to form a sandwich.
  3. Cook the quesadilla: Heat a non-stick skillet over medium heat. Carefully place the assembled quesadilla in the skillet. Cook for about 3-4 minutes on one side until the tortilla is golden brown and crispy.
  4. Flip and melt cheese: Using a spatula, carefully flip the quesadilla and cook for another 3-4 minutes on the other side until the cheese inside has melted and the tortilla is nicely browned.
  5. Serve: Remove the quesadilla from the skillet and let it cool for a minute. Cut into wedges and serve warm with salsa or sour cream if desired.

Notes

  • You can add spices like cumin or chili powder to the filling for extra flavor.
  • For a healthier option, use whole wheat tortillas and reduced-fat cheese.
  • Vegetables like onions or corn can be added to the filling for more variety.
