Ingredients

4 large flour tortillas
1 cup shredded cheese (cheddar or mozzarella)
1 red bell pepper, thinly sliced
1 green bell pepper, thinly sliced
1 small onion, thinly sliced
1 cup canned black beans, rinsed and drained
1 cup frozen corn, thawed
1 tbsp olive oil
1 tsp chili powder
1/2 tsp ground cumin
Salt, to taste

Instructions

Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Add sliced peppers and onions and cook until softened, about 5 minutes.
Add black beans, corn, chili powder, cumin, and salt to the skillet. Stir well to combine and cook for an additional 2 minutes.
Remove vegetable mixture from the skillet and set aside. Wipe out the skillet.
Place one tortilla in the skillet and sprinkle with a quarter of the shredded cheese. Spoon a quarter of the vegetable mixture onto one half of the tortilla.
Fold the tortilla in half, pressing down gently with a spatula to seal. Cook for 2-3 minutes on each side, until crispy and golden brown.
Repeat steps 4-5 with the remaining tortillas and filling.
Cut quesadillas into wedges and serve hot with your desired toppings.
