From-scratch Black Bean, Corn & Avocado Quesadillas
Quesadillas come in all shapes and sizes with so many different options for filling. Here in Texas you can pretty much find a quesadilla with any filling you can imagine. We have your typical chicken and steak, but we also have brisket, veggie, breakfast, and even dessert style. If you need a variety in tacos, bbq, or quesadillas, Texas is definitely the place to find that!
This one is another go-to lunch for us. The beans provide us with the filling fiber and protein to keep us going.
Feel free to swap out any of the ingredients for the ones you like. We usually top ours with a little salsa and light sour cream. This batch is also freeze-ahead friendly! Feel free to make a batch, store it in the freezer, and reheat it either in a toaster oven or over medium heat in a pan.
If you make this recipe and love it, we would love a 5 ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ rating! It helps us continue to provide free recipes.
Cook 5 minutesMakes 1
Ingredients
- 2 whole wheat tortillas
- 1/4 cup sharp cheddar cheese shredded (I usually end up using less)
- 1/8 cup black beans no salt added, drained and rinsed
- 1/8 cup corn kernels frozen, thawed
- 1/4 avocado
Method
- Heat a nonstick skillet over medium heat. Once heated, spray with nonstick cooking spray and place 1 whole wheat tortilla in the pan.
- Place half the cheese on the tortilla. You don't need much, enough to act as a glue. Top the cheese with the avocado, beans, and corn. Sprinkle the remaining cheese on top of that, again enough to act as a glue, and top with the remaining tortilla. Spray the outside of the top tortilla with cooking spray.
- Cook for about 1 – 1 1/2 minutes, then using a large spatula, flip it over. Cook on the other side for about another minute. Until all the cheese is melted and both tortillas are browned.
- Let it cool for a minute before cutting into four pieces. Feel free to top with salsa, sour cream, cilantro, or any topping of your choosing!
- If freezing, be sure to let them cool completely to room temperature (never freeze hot/warm food). Store them in an airtight container, vacuum seal, or in a freezer zippie.
