Method
Filling Preparation
Prepare the Vegetables
Dice the red bell pepper and red onion into small pieces.
Heat the Oil
In a skillet over medium heat, add 1 tablespoon of olive oil.
Sauté the Vegetables
Add the diced red onion and red bell pepper to the skillet. Sauté for about 3-4 minutes until they start to soften.
Add Beans and Corn
Add the black beans, corn, cumin powder, chili powder, and salt to the skillet. Stir well to combine and cook for an additional 3-5 minutes until heated through.
Quesadilla Assembly
Prepare the Tortillas
Lay out two tortillas on a flat surface. On one half of each tortilla, sprinkle 1/4 cup of vegan cheese.
Add the Filling
Evenly distribute the vegetable and bean filling over the cheese on the tortillas.
Top with More Cheese
Sprinkle another 1/4 cup of vegan cheese over the filling on each tortilla.
Fold the Tortillas
Fold the tortillas in half to cover the filling.
Cook the Quesadillas
In the same skillet used for the filling, place the folded quesadillas and cook over medium heat for about 3-4 minutes on each side, until golden brown and the cheese has melted.
Serve
Remove the quesadillas from the skillet, slice into wedges, and serve with sliced avocado and lime wedges.
