Ingredients
  

4 large whole wheat or flour tortillas

1 cup shredded mozzarella cheese

1 cup shredded cheddar cheese

1 cup black beans, rinsed and drained

1 cup corn kernels (fresh, frozen, or canned)

1 red bell pepper, diced

1 small zucchini, diced

1 small red onion, diced

1 teaspoon olive oil

1 teaspoon ground cumin

1 teaspoon chili powder

Salt and pepper to taste

Fresh cilantro leaves, for garnish

Sour cream, for serving

Salsa, for serving

Optional: sliced jalapeños for extra heat

Instructions
 

Prep the Veggies: In a large skillet, heat olive oil over medium heat. Add the diced red onion, bell pepper, and zucchini. Sauté for about 5-7 minutes, until softened.

    Add Beans and Corn: Stir in the black beans and corn, followed by the cumin, chili powder, salt, and pepper. Cook for another 2-3 minutes until heated through. Remove from heat and set aside.

      Assemble Quesadillas: Lay one tortilla flat in the skillet over medium-low heat. Sprinkle half of the mozzarella and cheddar cheese evenly over half of the tortilla. On top of the cheese, spoon a generous portion of the veggie mixture and then top with the remaining cheese. Fold the tortilla over to create a half-moon shape.

        Cook the Quesadilla: Cook for about 3-4 minutes on one side until the cheese starts to melt and the tortilla is golden brown. Carefully flip and cook for another 3-4 minutes on the other side until golden and crispy.

          Repeat: Repeat with the remaining tortillas and filling mixture. You can keep the cooked quesadillas warm in a low oven while you finish the rest.

            Serve: Slice each quesadilla into wedges and garnish with fresh cilantro. Serve warm with sour cream and salsa on the side. For those who like a bit of spice, add sliced jalapeños as a topping.
