Instructions

1

Mix the Filling

In a bowl combine drained black beans and corn. Season with a pinch of cumin, garlic powder, salt, and pepper then stir together to evenly distribute the spices throughout the filling.

2

Build the Quesadilla

Lay one tortilla flat in a skillet over medium heat with a drizzle of olive oil. Spread half the cheese on one half, spoon the bean and corn mixture over the cheese, then top with remaining cheese. Fold the tortilla over.

3

Cook Until Crispy

Cook the folded quesadilla for 3 to 4 minutes per side pressing gently with a spatula until both sides are golden brown and crispy and the cheese inside is completely melted.
