Ingredients

  • 15 oz can Black Beans
  • 15 oz can Whole Kernel Corn
  • 1 Tbsp Chili Powder
  • 1 tsp Garlic Powder
  • 1/2 tsp Cumin
  • 1/2 tsp Onion Powder
  • 8 Tortillas I used 6-inch Mission Carb Balance tortillas
  • 8 oz Shredded Monterey Jack Cheese

Instructions

  • Add the corn and black beans, undrained, to a large skillet over high heat. Add the spices and cook, stirring occasionally, until no liquid remains, about 12-15 minutes. Remove from the heat to briefly cool before making the quesadillas.
  • Heat a second skillet or griddle over medium heat with nonstick cooking spray. Add the tortillas to the griddle. Place 2 Tbsp (14g) of cheese on one half of each tortilla followed by 1/4 cup (65g) of the beans/corn mixture and another 2 Tbsp (14g) of cheese.
  • Gently fold the tortilla in half, holding the top half closed for a few seconds to melt the top layer of cheese. Cook for another 1-2 minutes per side until golden brown. If you have any filling or cheese leaking out of the quesadilla, use the flat side of your spatula to press it back in until the cheese forms a crust-like seal around the edges. Repeat for all 8 quesadillas.
