Ingredients

  • 2 tbsp olive oil, divided
  • 1 can black beans, 15 oz, drained and rinsed
  • 1 cup frozen corn, thawed and patted dry
  • 1 medium red bell pepper, finely diced
  • 1 tsp ground cumin
  • ½ tsp garlic powder
  • ¼ tsp kosher salt
  • 3 cups monterey jack, or cheddar, shredded
  • 6 flour tortillas, 8-inch
  • salsa, guacamole or sour cream, to serve

Steps

  1. Heat the oven to 425°F (220°C) with a rack in the middle.
  2. Brush a sheet pan with 1 tablespoon of the oil.
  3. Stir the beans, corn, bell pepper, cumin, garlic powder and salt in a bowl.
  4. Lay the tortillas on a work surface. Sprinkle 1/4 cup cheese on one half of each.
  5. Divide the bean mixture over the cheese, then top with the rest of the cheese.
  6. Fold each tortilla in half and arrange them on the pan, folded edges facing out, 3 per side.
  7. Brush the tops with the remaining oil.
  8. Bake until the bottoms are golden.
  9. Flip each quesadilla with a spatula and bake until the second side is crisp and the cheese is melted.
  10. Let them sit for 2 minutes, then cut into wedges and serve with salsa.

Tip: Pat the corn and beans dry so the tortillas bake up crisp instead of steamy.

Tip: Press another sheet pan on top for the first 5 minutes for flatter, extra-crispy quesadillas.

Storage: Refrigerate up to 3 days. Reheat on a sheet pan at 375°F until hot and crisp.

Make ahead: Fold the quesadillas, cover and refrigerate up to 1 day before baking. Add 2 minutes to the first bake.
