Ingredients
- 1 red bell pepper, thinly sliced
- 1 yellow bell pepper, thinly sliced
- 1 red onion, thinly sliced
- 1 cup corn kernels
- 1 cup black beans, drained and rinsed
- 1 tsp cumin
- 1 tsp smoked paprika
- Salt and pepper to taste
- 8 small flour tortillas
- 2 cups shredded cheese (cheddar or Mexican blend)
- 2 tbsp olive oil
Instructions
- In a large skillet, heat 1 tbsp of olive oil over medium heat. Add the sliced bell peppers and onion, and sauté until softened, about 5 minutes.
- Add the corn, black beans, cumin, smoked paprika, salt, and pepper to the skillet. Cook for an additional 2-3 minutes, then remove from heat.
- Wipe the skillet clean and return it to medium heat. Brush one side of a tortilla with a little olive oil and place it oiled-side down in the skillet.
- Sprinkle a handful of cheese over half of the tortilla, then spoon some of the vegetable mixture on top of the cheese. Fold the tortilla in half to enclose the filling.
- Cook the quesadilla for 2-3 minutes on each side, until the tortilla is golden and crispy, and the cheese is melted.
- Repeat with the remaining tortillas and filling.
- Slice the quesadillas into wedges and serve hot.
