Ingredients

• 2 whole Poblano peppers
• 1 cup Canned black beans, drained and rinsed
• 1 cup Fresh mango, diced
• 2 cups Shredded Monterey Jack cheese
• 4 whole Large flour tortillas
• 2 tablespoons Olive oil or cooking spray
• 0.25 cup Fresh cilantro, chopped
• 1 teaspoon Ground cumin
• 0.5 teaspoon Salt
• 0.25 teaspoon Black pepper
• 4 pieces Lime wedges, for serving
• 1 cup Sour cream or Greek yogurt, for serving

Directions

Step 1

Place the poblano peppers over an open flame on a gas stove or under the broiler, turning occasionally, until the skin is charred and blistered on all sides (about 5-7 minutes).

Step 2

Transfer the roasted poblanos to a bowl, cover with a plate or plastic wrap, and let steam for 5 minutes. This will help loosen the skins.

Step 3

Peel the charred skin from the poblanos, remove the seeds and stems, and dice them into small pieces. Set aside.

Step 4

In a medium mixing bowl, combine the black beans, diced mango, roasted poblano pieces, chopped cilantro, ground cumin, salt, and black pepper. Stir gently to combine.

Step 5

Place a large skillet or griddle over medium heat and lightly grease with olive oil or cooking spray.

Step 6

Lay one tortilla flat on a clean surface. Sprinkle 1/2 cup of shredded Monterey Jack cheese evenly over one half of the tortilla.

Step 7

Spoon about 1/4 of the black bean and mango mixture over the cheese. Fold the tortilla in half, pressing gently to sandwich the mixture inside.

Step 8

Place the folded tortilla onto the skillet and cook for 2-3 minutes per side, or until the tortilla is golden brown and the cheese is melted. Repeat with the remaining tortillas and filling.

Step 9

Transfer the quesadillas to a cutting board and let cool for 1-2 minutes before slicing into wedges.

Step 10

Serve warm with lime wedges and a dollop of sour cream or Greek yogurt on the side.
