- 4 8-inch Flour tortillas
- 15 oz can Black beans, canned
- 1 cup Shredded cheddar or Monterey Jack cheese
- 0.5 cup Salsa
- 1 tbsp Olive oil
- 0.25 tsp Salt
- 0.25 tsp Cumin
How to make Cheesy Black Bean Quesadillas
- Drain and rinse the 15 oz can of black beans thoroughly under cold water. Transfer the rinsed beans to a medium bowl.
- Lightly mash the black beans with a fork or potato masher until about half of them are crushed, leaving some whole for texture. Season the beans with 1/4 teaspoon of salt and 1/4 teaspoon of cumin; stir to combine.
- Heat a large non-stick skillet over medium heat. Add 1/2 tablespoon of olive oil to the hot skillet, ensuring it coats the bottom.
- Place one 8-inch flour tortilla into the skillet. Sprinkle half of the 1 cup shredded cheese evenly over one side of the tortilla.
- Spread half of the seasoned black bean mixture over the cheese on one half of the tortilla. Then, dollop half of the 1/2 cup salsa over the beans.
- Carefully fold the other half of the tortilla over the filling, pressing down gently with a spatula to create a half-moon shape.
- Cook for 3-4 minutes per side, or until the tortilla is golden brown and crispy, and the cheese has completely melted and is bubbling.
- Remove the cooked quesadilla from the skillet and place it on a cutting board. Repeat the process with the remaining 1/2 tablespoon of olive oil, tortilla, cheese, beans, and salsa to cook the second quesadilla.
- Cut each quesadilla into 2-3 wedges and serve immediately while hot and the cheese is gooey.
