Method

Burritos & More

  1. 1

    Prep vegetables and beans: dice red and green bell peppers and onion. Rinse and drain black beans if using canned. Measure out corn.

  2. 2

    In a large skillet, heat olive oil over medium heat. Add onions and peppers; sauté 4–5 minutes until softened. Stir in cumin, chili powder, paprika, garlic powder, onion powder, salt, and black pepper; cook about 1 minute to bloom the spices.

  3. 3

    Add corn and black beans; cook 2–3 minutes until heated through. Adjust salt and pepper to taste. Remove from heat.

  4. 4

    Warm a clean skillet over medium heat. Place a tortilla in the skillet, sprinkle about 1/4 cup shredded cheese on one half, then top with a portion of the veggie-bean mixture. Fold tortilla over to form a half-moon. Cook 2–3 minutes per side, until cheese is melted and tortilla is golden brown. Repeat with remaining tortillas.

  5. 5

    Slice each quesadilla into wedges. Serve with optional toppings: chopped cilantro, avocado slices, and salsa or sour cream if desired.
