Black bean and corn quesadillas deliver incredible cheesy satisfaction with sweet corn kernels and protein-rich black beans for a completely satisfying vegetarian meal. These crowd-pleasing quesadillas feature perfectly melted cheese with just enough spice and sweetness to keep everyone coming back for more. The combination of textures and flavors makes these quesadillas appealing even to dedicated meat-eaters.
These black bean quesadillas are really cheesy, a little bit spicy, and a little bit sweet. My vegetarian husband goes crazy over them every time! Delicious with salsa and sour cream.

Ingredients
2 teaspoons olive oil
3 tablespoons finely chopped onion
1 (15.5 ounce) can black beans, drained and rinsed
1 (10 ounce) can whole kernel corn, drained
¼ cup salsa
1 tablespoon brown sugar
¼ teaspoon red pepper flakes
2 tablespoons butter, or as needed
8 (8 inch) flour tortillas
1 ½ cups shredded Monterey Jack cheese
Directions
Heat olive oil in a large saucepan over medium heat. Cook and stir onion in hot oil until softened, about 2 minutes. Stir in beans and corn, then add salsa, brown sugar, and red pepper flakes; mix well. Cook until heated through, about 3 minutes. Remove from heat.
Melt about 1 ½ teaspoons butter in a large skillet over medium heat. Place a tortilla in the skillet. Sprinkle with ¼ of the Monterey Jack cheese, then top with ¼ of the bean mixture. Place another tortilla on top; cook until the bottom is golden, then carefully flip and cook until the other side is golden. Repeat with remaining tortillas and filling.
Cook’s Note
This is a very versatile recipe. Feel free to play around and add chicken or veggies if you desire.
