Ingredients

  • 1 15oz.can black beans
  • 1 cup frozen corn
  • 1/2 cup red onion
  • 1 clove garlic
  • 1/4 bunch fresh cilantro (about ½ cup chopped)
  • 2 cups shredded cheddar cheese
  • 1 batch taco seasoning*
  • 10 flour tortillas (7-inch diameter)

Directions

  1. 1

    Drain the black beans and add them to a bowl along with the frozen corn (no need to thaw)

  2. 2

    Finely dice the onion, mince the garlic, and roughly chop the cilantro.

  3. 3

    Add the onion, garlic, cilantro, shredded cheddar, and taco seasoning to the bowl with the beans and corn. Stir until everything is evenly combined and coated in seasoning.

  4. 4

    Place a half cup of the filling on one side of each tortilla and fold over. Cook the quesadillas in a skillet over medium heat on each side until brown and crispy and the cheesy filling has melted. Slice into triangles then serve.

  5. 5

    To freeze the quesadillas, stack the filled and uncooked quesadillas with a piece of parchment paper between each quesadilla. Place in a freezer bag and freeze for up to three months. To reheat either microwave (for a soft quesadilla) or cook in a skillet on low heat (make sure to use low heat so that the filling has time to thaw and melt before the outside burns).
