Ingredients Method

Ingredients
  

  • 8 small flour tortillas
  • 1 15-ounce can black beans drained and rinsed; about 425 g
  • 1 1/2 cups shredded cheese about 170 g; cheddar, Monterey Jack, or a blend
  • 1 cup corn kernels about 150 g, thawed if frozen
  • 1/2 cup salsa 120 ml, plus more for serving

Method
 

  1. Mash about half of the black beans with a fork, then mix them with the whole beans, corn, and salsa.
  2. Lay four tortillas on a work surface. Divide the bean mixture and cheese evenly among them, then top with the remaining tortillas.
  3. Heat a large dry skillet over medium heat. Cook the quesadillas one or two at a time for 2 to 3 minutes per side, until golden and the cheese is melted.
  4. Rest for 1 minute, cut into wedges, and serve with extra salsa.
