Black Bean and Corn Quesadillas image

My vegetarian husband goes crazy over these every time! They are really cheesy, a little bit spicy, and a little bit sweet. Feel free to play around and add chicken or veggies, if you desire. Don't forget the salsa and sour cream!

Yield Serves 4

Number Of Ingredients 21

For the grilled vegetables:
2 ears of corn, unshucked
1 medium zucchini, halved lengthwise
2 tablespoons olive oil, divided
Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper
1 bunch scallions (reserve 1 scallion for salsa)
For the salsa:
1 avocado, diced
1 scallion, thinly sliced
1/2 pint (1 cup) cherry tomatoes, coarsely chopped
2 tablespoons coarsely chopped fresh cilantro
2 tablespoons fresh lime juice
1/2 teaspoon kosher salt
Pinch of cayenne pepper
For the quesadillas:
4 (8-inch) flour tortillas
1 1/2 cups shredded Monterey Jack cheese
1 (15-ounce) can black beans, drained, rinsed
2 tablespoons vegetable oil, divided
Cilantro leaves with tender stems (for serving)
Lime wedges (for serving)

Steps:

  • Grill the vegetables:
  • Prepare a grill for medium-high, direct heat, preferably with hardwood or hardwood charcoal. Grill corn over direct heat, turning to cook evenly, until kernels are tender, about 20 minutes. Let corn steam in its husk 10 minutes, then shuck and cut kernels from cob. Transfer kernels to a large bowl.
  • While corn is grilling, brush cut sides of zucchini with 1 Tbsp. olive oil, then sprinkle with salt and pepper. Toss scallions with remaining 1 Tbsp. olive oil and a pinch of salt and pepper. Grill zucchini and scallions over direct heat, turning occasionally, until tender and lightly charred, 8-10 minutes. Let cool slightly. Coarsely chop zucchini and scallions, then toss with corn. Season with salt and pepper.
  • Make the salsa:
  • Combine avocado, scallion, tomatoes, cilantro, lime juice, salt, and cayenne in a medium bowl.
  • Assemble the quesadillas:
  • Arrange tortillas on a work surface. Dividing evenly, layer cheese, then beans, then grilled vegetables on one side of each tortilla. Fold tortillas in half to create half-moons.
  • Heat 1 Tbsp. vegetable oil in a large heavy skillet over medium-low until hot, then cook 2 tortillas, turning once, until cheese is melted and tortillas are brown, 1-2 minutes per side. Transfer quesadillas to serving plates, then cook remaining tortillas with remaining oil. Sprinkle quesadillas with cilantro leaves and serve with salsa and lime wedges alongside.
  • Do Ahead
  • Vegetables can be grilled, covered, and chilled for up to 3 days.

BLACK BEAN AND CORN QUESADILLAS



Black Bean and Corn Quesadillas image

Great combo of ingredients. I sometimes add beef or chicken, but they are tasty as is. Enjoy.

Provided by Patrice Manning

Time 30m

Number Of Ingredients 10

1/3 c frozen corn kernals, thawed
2 tsp vegetable oil, plus more for brushing tortillas
1/3 c minced red onion
1 tsp minced garlic
1/2 tsp chili powder
1/3 c black beans, canned
2 tsp lime juice
salt
2 flour tortillas, 8 inch size
2/3 c pepper-jack cheese, 3 oz.

Steps:

  • 1. Heat a large nonstick skillet to medium high heat. Add corn and cook, stirring, until it becomes brown and pops. 3 to 5 minutes. Transfer to a medium bowl.
  • 2. Heat 2 tsp veg. oil in same skillet, add onion and cook til softened. Add garlic and chili powder, cooking about one minute more.
  • 3. Add the beans, cook for about 1 minute. Add corn back into skillet. Press mixture with a spatula to lightly crush the black beans. Transfer all to a medium bowl. Stir in lime juice.
  • 4. Wipe out the skillet and return it to medium heat for about 2 minutes. Add one tortilla and toast it for about 2 minutes when it should puff and soften. Flip and cook the other side for about a minute. Remove the tortilla to a cutting board. Repeat cooking with the second tortilla while assembling the first.
  • 5. To the first tortilla: Sprinkle with 1/3 cup cheese, half of the corn and bean mixture, leaving a 1/2 in. border. Fold the tortilla in half and press to flatten. Brush with oil, sprinkle with salt and set aside. Finish the second tortilla.
  • 6. Place both completed tortillas in the skillet oiled side down. Cook over medium heat until well browned. Brush and salt the other side and flip them. Cook another 1 to 2 minutes longer.
  • 7. Remove to a cutting board and cool for 3 minutes. Halve each quesadilla and serve with salsa, guacamole or sour cream. Enjoy!

Tips:

  • Choose ripe and fresh ingredients: The quality of your ingredients will greatly impact the taste of your quesadillas. Make sure to use ripe avocados, fresh cilantro, and sweet corn.
  • Don't overfill your quesadillas: Too much filling will make your quesadillas difficult to fold and cook evenly. Stick to a thin layer of filling so that the quesadillas are easy to handle.
  • Use a hot skillet: A hot skillet will help to ensure that your quesadillas are cooked evenly and quickly. If the skillet is not hot enough, the quesadillas will be more likely to stick and burn.
  • Cook your quesadillas in batches: If you are making a large batch of quesadillas, it is best to cook them in batches. This will help to prevent the quesadillas from getting soggy.
  • Serve your quesadillas immediately: Quesadillas are best served immediately after they are cooked. This will ensure that the quesadillas are crispy and the cheese is melted and gooey.

Conclusion:

Black bean and corn quesadillas are a delicious and easy-to-make meal that is perfect for any occasion. They are also a great way to use up leftover black beans and corn. With a few simple ingredients and a little bit of time, you can create a delicious and satisfying meal that the whole family will enjoy.
