This is a Canadian Living recipe and has been a favourite at our house. Serve these quesadillas with a green salad and you have a meatless but very tasty meal. The recipe indicates 4 servings (4 whole quesadillas) but I find that with a salad, 1/2 of a quesadilla fills me up. I have never used the jalapenos, as I don't like foods that are too spicy. Enjoy!
Ingredients:
2 teaspoons vegetable oil
1 onion, chopped
1 sweet green pepper, diced
1 tablespoon chili powder
1/2 teaspoon ground cumin
1/4 teaspoon salt
1/8 teaspoon pepper
1 (19 ounce) can black beans, drained and rinsed
1 cup salsa
1/2 cup corn kernel
4 large flour tortillas
2 cups cheddar cheese, shredded
1/2 cup light sour cream
1/4 cup pickled jalapeno pepper, diced (optional)
Directions:
1. In a 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.
2. 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 425F oven, turning once, for 10 minutes. Serve with sour cream, and jalapeno peppers (if using).
