Why Choose These Quesadillas?
Quesadillas with black beans and corn are high in fiber, protein, and nutrients. The avocado sauce adds a creamy, fresh flavor that complements the filling perfectly.
Ingredients:
4 medium whole-grain tortillas
1 cup black beans (cooked or canned, rinsed and drained)
1 cup sweet corn kernels (cooked or canned, drained)
1/2 cup shredded cheddar or mozzarella cheese
1 avocado
1 lime (juice)
2 tbsp plain yogurt
1 garlic clove, minced
1/2 tsp ground cumin
Salt and pepper to taste
Olive oil for cooking
Instructions:
1. Prepare the avocado sauce: Mash the avocado in a bowl and mix it with lime juice, yogurt, garlic, cumin, salt, and pepper until smooth. Set aside.
2. Heat a non-stick skillet over medium heat and lightly grease it with olive oil.
3. Place a tortilla in the skillet and sprinkle half of it with black beans, corn, and cheese. Fold the tortilla in half.
4. Cook for 2-3 minutes on each side until golden brown and the cheese is melted. Repeat with the remaining tortillas and filling.
5. Slice the quesadillas into wedges and serve warm with avocado sauce on the side.
