🍳 How to Make Black Bean & Sweetcorn Quesadillas
- Heat the oil in a frying pan. Cook the pepper and onion for 5–6 minutes until soft.
- Add the Fajita Seasoning and stir for 30 seconds. Add the beans, sweetcorn and salsa, then cook for 3 minutes until the mixture is hot and no longer wet.
- Lay four tortillas on a board. Scatter half the cheese over them, divide the filling between them and finish with the remaining cheese. Top with the other tortillas.
- Wipe out the pan and place it over a medium heat. Cook each quesadilla for 2–3 minutes per side until golden and the cheese has melted. Turn carefully with a wide spatula.
- Rest for 2 minutes before cutting into wedges.
🍅 Serving Suggestions
Serve with tomato salsa, soured cream, avocado and a crunchy salad. The wedges are also delicious cold in a packed lunch, although they lose a little crispness.
✨ Why This Recipe Works
Cooking moisture from the vegetable filling before assembling keeps the tortillas crisp. Cheese beneath and above the filling acts as a delicious glue, helping each quesadilla hold together when turned and sliced.
