Vegetarian Black Bean Quesadilla with Salsa and Cilantro-Lime Sour Cream

Vegetarian Black Bean Quesadilla with Salsa and Cilantro Lime Sour Cream

I made these for dinner on Thursday and there were absolutely delicious! And so quick. And cheap! You can find the original recipe here. I've made some minor changes though due to what I had on hand. 

Ingredients:

• 2 tablespoons olive oil
• 1 small red bell pepper, diced
• 1/2 red onion, diced
• 3/4 cup corn kernels, (I used canned)
• 2 teaspoons red pepper flakes
• 1 teaspoon ground cumin
• Salt and freshly ground black pepper
• 1/2 cup freshly chopped cilantro leaves
• 4 (10-inch"burrito size") flour tortillas
• 1 (16-ounce) can black beans
• 1 cup Shredded Taco Blend cheese
• Lime-Cilantro Sour Cream, recipe follows
• 
  
• Directions:
• Heat oil over medium heat and saute onion and red pepper until soft
• 
  
• Add corn, red pepper flakes, cumin and salt and pepper to taste. Saute for about 5 minutes
• 
  
• Remove from heat and add cilantro
• 
  
• I have a panini maker that I use to make quesadillas but if you don't then preheat a cast iron pan over medium heat. 
• 
  
• Lay one tortilla down and spoon filling on top. Sprinkle with cheese and top with a second tortilla. Once browned, flipped quesadilla over to heat the other side.
• 
  
• Slice into 4 wedges, serve with salsa and lime-cilantro sour cream and enjoy!

• Lime-Cilantro Sour Cream:

  • 1/2 cup sour cream
  • 1/4 cup freshly chopped cilantro leaves
  • 1/2 lime, juiced
  • Pinch salt
  In a small bowl, mix all ingredients together until combined. Season, to taste, with salt if needed.
