Instructions
Instructions
- Rinse and drain the 15 oz can of black beans; transfer to a bowl and lightly mash with a fork if you want the beans to bind better.
- Finely chop the 2 roma tomatoes and the 2–3 green onions. Measure out the 1/2 cup cooked sweet corn, 1/2 cup vegan shredded cheese, and the 1/4 tsp ground cumin.
- Lay the 4 large tortillas flat on a clean work surface.
- Divide the fillings evenly among the 4 tortillas. On one half of each tortilla, place a light layer of the vegan shredded cheese, then add a portion of the black beans, chopped tomatoes, chopped green onions, and cooked sweet corn.
- Sprinkle a little of the 1/4 tsp ground cumin evenly over the fillings as you assemble each quesadilla.
- Add another light layer of the vegan shredded cheese on top of the fillings, fold the other half of the tortilla over to close, and gently press the seam to seal.
- Preheat a flat skillet over medium heat. Cook each folded quesadilla in the skillet for 3–4 minutes per side, pressing gently with a spatula, until the tortilla is golden and the cheese is melted. Repeat until all quesadillas are cooked.
- Cut each quesadilla if desired and serve warm.

Notes
Notes
Less cheese (or no cheese) version:
You can also substitute one (or both) of the layers of cheese for a thin layer of hummus or mashed avocado.
Customize it:
Use more or less of the ingredients you love. Smoked paprika or garlic powder is also a great addition with the cumin. Or add cooked brown rice or quinoa.
For gluten-free:
Use your favorite GF tortilla.
