Black Bean Quesadillas
Serve with: Garden salad.
Ingredients:
- 1 onion, chopped
1 sweetgreenpepper, diced
1 tbsp (15 mL) chili powder
1/2 tsp (2 mL) ground cumin
1/4 tsp (1 mL) each salt and pepper
1 can (19 oz/540 mL) black beans, drained and rinsed
1 cup (250 mL) salsa
1/2 cup (125 mL) cornkernels
4 large flourtortillas
2 cups (500 mL) shredded cheddarcheese
1/2 cup (125 mL) light sour cream
1/4 cup (50 mL) diced fresh or pickled jalape?eppers (optional)
Preparation:
In large nonstick skillet, heat oil over medium heat; cook onion, green pepper, chili powder, cumin, salt and pepper until softened, about 8 minutes. Add black beans, salsa and corn; cook, stirring often, until heated through, about 5 minutes. (Make-ahead: Let cool for 30 minutes; refrigerate until chilled. Cover and refrigerate for up to 1 day.)
Evenly spoon bean mixture over half of each tortilla; sprinkle with cheese. Fold uncovered half over top and press lightly. Place on large rimmed baking sheet; bake in 425°F (220°C) oven, turning once, until golden, 6 to 10 minutes. Serve with sour cream, and jalapeno peppers (if using).
These were great! The prep was really fast - I actually omitted the green pepper and used onion powder in place of the onion. They were ready for the oven in about 5 minutes, and ready to eat in well under half an hour. Plus, they were quite delicious and very healthy. Again, I failed to photograph, but the original website has one if you need convincing. It was too good not to post the recipe despite no photo.
