Ingredients
  

  • 8 large 8" whole wheat tortillas
  • 14 oz can black beans rinsed and drained
  • 1 cup corn fresh or frozen
  • 1 large bell pepper diced
  • 1/3 cup cilantro finely chopped
  • 1/3 cup red onion minced
  • 2 tsp cumin
  • Pinch of salt
  • 2 2/3 cups shredded cheese cheddar or mozzarella
  • Salsa guacamole, yogurt or sour cream for serving

Instructions
 

  • Get ready: Preheat your oven to 350°F and prepare 2 large baking sheets by lining them with parchment paper or silicone mats.
  • Mix the filling: In a large bowl, combine the black beans, corn, bell pepper, cilantro, red onion, cumin, and a pinch of salt. Stir until everything is well mixed.

  • Assemble the quesadillas: Lay out the tortillas and on one half of each, sprinkle about 3 tablespoons of cheese. Top with 1/2 cup of the veggie mixture, then another 3 tablespoons of cheese. Fold the other half of the tortilla over to create a half-moon shape. Press down gently but firmly.

  • Bake to perfection: Place the quesadillas on the prepared baking sheets. Bake in the preheated oven for 20 minutes until the cheese is melted and the tortillas are slightly crispy.
