Ingredients

• 4 pieces Flour tortillas
• 1 cup Shredded cheddar cheese
• 1 medium Red bell pepper, diced
• 1 medium Yellow bell pepper, diced
• 1 small Zucchini, finely diced
• 0.5 medium Red onion, finely diced
• 0.5 cup Corn kernels (fresh, canned, or frozen)
• 0.5 cup Black beans, rinsed and drained
• 2 tablespoons Olive oil
• 0.5 teaspoon Ground cumin
• 0.5 teaspoon Chili powder
• 0.5 teaspoon Salt
• 0.25 teaspoon Black pepper
• 2 tablespoons Fresh cilantro, chopped
• 0 as needed Sour cream or guacamole (optional)

Directions

Step 1

Heat 1 tablespoon of olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat.

Step 2

Add the diced red and yellow bell peppers, zucchini, red onion, and corn. Sauté for 3-4 minutes until the vegetables begin to soften.

Step 3

Stir in the black beans, ground cumin, chili powder, salt, and black pepper. Cook for another 2 minutes, stirring occasionally. Remove from heat and stir in the chopped cilantro.

Step 4

Heat a second skillet or griddle over medium heat and lightly grease with the remaining tablespoon of olive oil.

Step 5

Place one flour tortilla in the skillet. Sprinkle 1/4 cup of shredded cheddar cheese evenly over half of the tortilla.

Step 6

Spoon approximately 1/4 of the vegetable mixture on top of the cheese, then fold the tortilla in half to create a semicircle.

Step 7

Cook the quesadilla for 2-3 minutes on each side, or until the tortilla is golden and crispy, and the cheese is melted.

Step 8

Repeat with the remaining tortillas, cheese, and vegetable mixture.

Step 9

Slice each quesadilla into wedges and serve warm with sour cream or guacamole, if desired.
