Black Bean Quesadilla Recipe
This black bean quesadilla is really easy to make with taco-seasoned black beans sautéed with onions inside a flour tortilla with shredded cheese!
Servings: 4 servings
Equipment
Ingredients
- 3 tablespoons olive oil divided
- ½ small onion chopped
- 1 small jalapeño chopped
- 1 (15-ounce) can black beans rinsed and drained
- 1 tablespoon taco seasoning
- ¼ teaspoon salt
- 1 cup shredded Mexican cheese blend
- 4 small flour tortillas 8-inch size
Instructions
- Heat 1 tablespoon oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add the onions and jalapeño peppers and cook until soft and translucent, about 3-4 minutes.
- Add the black beans, taco seasoning and salt, and cook until warmed through, mashing the beans with the back of a spatula, for 2 more minutes.
- Wipe the skillet clean, heat 1 tablespoon oil over medium-high heat. Place the tortillas on a flat surface. Add 1 /4 of the black bean mixture on each tortilla and spread into an even layer, then sprinkle the cheese on top of the bean mixture. Fold the tortillas in half.
- Place two of the folded tortillas on the heated skillet and cook until the crust is crispy and the cheese has melted, about 3 minutes per side. Repeat with the remaining 1 tablespoon oil and remaining 2 tortillas.
- Serve with salsa and/or sour cream, if desired.

Notes
Storage: Store any leftovers in an airtight container. They will last about 3-4 days in the fridge. Reheat them in the oven or toaster oven, but they won't be as good as fresh out of the grill pan.
Freezing Instructions: You can also freeze the cheese quesadillas, but I recommend freezing before cooking. Lay them flat on a baking sheet until firm. Then transfer to a freezer bag or airtight container for up to 2 months. You can cook them from frozen by placing them on the heated skillet and cooking for 2-3 minutes per side until heated through.
