Ingredients

• 4 pieces Large flour tortillas
• 1.5 cups Shredded cheddar cheese
• 1 cup Black beans (canned, drained and rinsed)
• 1 cup Sweet corn (frozen, thawed or canned, drained)
• 0.5 cup Chopped green onions
• 0.25 cup Chopped fresh cilantro
• 1 teaspoon Ground cumin
• 1 teaspoon Chili powder
• 0.5 teaspoon Salt
• 1 tablespoon Fresh lime juice
• 1 tablespoon Olive oil
• 0.5 cup Sour cream (optional, for serving)
• 0.5 cup Salsa (optional, for serving)

Directions

Step 1

Preheat the oven to 400°F (200°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper or lightly grease it.

Step 2

In a large mixing bowl, combine the black beans, sweet corn, green onions, cilantro, ground cumin, chili powder, salt, and lime juice. Mix well to evenly distribute the spices.

Step 3

Lay out the flour tortillas on a clean surface. Sprinkle a layer of shredded cheddar cheese (about 2 tablespoons) over half of each tortilla.

Step 4

Spoon 2-3 tablespoons of the bean and corn mixture over the cheese layer, spreading it out evenly but leaving a small border around the edges.

Step 5

Sprinkle an additional layer of cheese (about 2 more tablespoons) on top of the bean mixture, then fold each tortilla in half to create a half-moon shape. Press down gently to seal.

Step 6

Brush the tops of the folded tortillas lightly with olive oil to help them crisp up in the oven.

Step 7

Arrange the folded tortillas on the prepared baking sheet, leaving a little space between each one.

Step 8

Bake in the preheated oven for 8-10 minutes, or until the tortillas are golden and crispy, and the cheese is melted and bubbling.

Step 9

Remove the tortillas from the oven and let them cool for 2-3 minutes before slicing each half-moon into 2-3 wedges.

Step 10

Serve the tortilla wedges warm with sour cream and salsa on the side for dipping, if desired.
