CORN AND BLACK BEAN QUESADILLAS



Corn and Black Bean Quesadillas image

Quesadillas are a win-win for busy weeknight meals. They come together quick and easy, and are usually a tasty excuse to clean out leftovers from the fridge. In this case, the filling is made with canned black beans from the pantry and leftover corn on the cob.

Provided by Jennifer Perillo

Time 40m

Yield 8 servings

Number Of Ingredients 12

Freshly ground black pepper
Handful of fresh cilantro, chopped
Eight 8-inch round flour tortillas
8 ounces Monterey Jack cheese, shredded
Pico de gallo, to serve, optional
1/4 teaspoon cumin
1 to 2 tablespoons olive oil
1 medium onion, chopped
1 clove garlic, chopped fine
One 15-ounce can black beans, drained and rinsed
1 cup cooked corn kernels (from 1 large ear)
3/4 teaspoon salt

Steps:

  • Heat 1 tablespoon of oil in a 10-inch nonstick skillet. Add the onion and garlic; cook until lightly golden, 1 to 2 minutes. Add the beans, corn and another tablespoon of oil if the pan seems dry. Season with the salt, cumin and pepper, and stir in the cilantro. Let cook over medium-low heat until the beans and corn are heated through, about 5 minutes.
  • Heat a 10-inch cast-iron skillet over medium heat.
  • Meanwhile, arrange the tortillas flat on a counter. Sprinkle 1 1/2 tablespoons of cheese on one half of each tortilla. Spoon 2 tablespoons of the bean-corn mixture over the cheese. Top with another 1 1/2 tablespoons of cheese. Fold the filled tortillas into half-moons.
  • Place 2 quesadillas in the skillet. Cook until golden on the bottom and the cheese has started to melt, 2 to 3 minutes. Use a spatula to flip the quesadillas, and cook until golden on the other side, 2 to 3 more minutes,. Repeat with the remaining quesadillas.
  • Serve topped with pico de gallo if desired.
  • Easy Swap In: We usually make the filling with leftover grilled or roasted corn, but frozen corn works great too. Don't thaw the corn-just add the frozen kernels to the pan with the black beans and allow 1 to 2 extra minutes for them to heat through.

Tips:

  • Use fresh, ripe ingredients for the best flavor. This includes using fresh corn kernels, black beans, and vegetables. If you don't have fresh corn, you can use frozen or canned corn, but fresh corn will give you the best results.
  • Be sure to drain and rinse the black beans before using them. This will help to remove any excess starch and make the quesadillas less mushy.
  • Don't overfill the quesadillas. If you put too much filling in them, they will be difficult to fold and they may fall apart. Aim for about 1/2 cup of filling per quesadilla.
  • Cook the quesadillas over medium heat. This will help to prevent them from burning. If you cook them over too high heat, the tortillas will brown too quickly and the filling will not have time to heat through.
  • Serve the quesadillas immediately with your favorite toppings. Some popular toppings include salsa, guacamole, sour cream, and cheese.

Conclusion:

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