Ingredients
Instructions
-
In a mixing bowl, combine the black beans, Monterey Jack cheese, cheddar cheese, red onion, cilantro, cumin, chili powder, garlic powder, salt, and pepper. Mix well until all the ingredients are evenly combined.
-
Place a large non-stick skillet over medium heat. Lightly spray the skillet with cooking spray.
-
Lay a tortilla flat on a clean surface. Spoon a generous amount of the black bean and cheese mixture onto one half of the tortilla, spreading it out evenly.
-
Fold the tortilla over to cover the filling, creating a half-circle shape. Gently press down on the top to ensure the quesadilla stays together.
-
Carefully transfer the assembled quesadilla to the preheated skillet. Cook for about 2-3 minutes on each side, or until the tortilla is golden brown and crispy, and the cheese is melted.
-
Remove the quesadilla from the skillet and place it on a cutting board. Allow it to cool for a minute or two before using a sharp knife to cut it into wedges.
-
Repeat the process with the remaining tortillas and filling, cooking each quesadilla until golden and crisp.
-
Serve the Black Bean and Cheese Quesadillas hot with your favorite toppings such as salsa, guacamole, sour cream, or diced avocado.
