Quesadillas with Corn, Black Beans & Feta Cheese
These quesadillas take very little time to prepare. As such, they make a perfect mid-week meal. If you don’t have goat cheese on hand, regular cheddar is a fine substitute.
- Ingredients
- 4 large flour tortillas
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- 1 clove garlic, minced
- 1 cup canned black beans, rinsed and drained
- 1 cup frozen corn
- 1 cup feta cheese
- 1/2 cup spinach
- 1 teaspoon cumin
- 1 teaspoon chili powder
- 1 teaspoon oregano
- 1 teaspoon seasoning salt
- 2 tablespoons fresh cilantro, chopped
- Sour Cream (optional)
- Salsa (optional)
Directions:
Heat the oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Add onion and garlic and saute for 5 minutes until the onion is softened. Add the beans, corn, and seasoning and continue to cook for 5 minutes until the corn has thawed. Add the feta cheese and spinach and stir for a few minutes until the cheese starts to melt the the spinach is wilted. Set aside. In a separate pan, set the heat to low and add your first tortilla (or use a large griddle on low heat to make multiple tortillas at once) Fill half of the tortilla with about 3 tbsp. of the vegetable mixture and spread thinly. Fold the other half of the tortilla over and cover with a lid. This will help melt the cheese completely. Cook for 1 minute. Remove the lid and using a spatula, flip the quesadilla over and cook the other side for an additional minute until crispy. Repeat with remaining tortillas. To slice, use a pizza wheel or sharp knife and cut into quarters. Serve with fresh cilantro, sour cream and salsa.
