Preparation

Prepare the Beans
Rinse and drain the black beans. In a medium bowl, mash the beans slightly with a fork, leaving some whole for texture. Add cumin, garlic powder, salt, black pepper, and chili powder to the beans and mix well.

Grate the Cheese
Grate the cheddar cheese using a cheese grater and set aside.

Assemble the Quesadillas
Lay a tortilla flat on a clean surface. Spread a quarter of the bean mixture over half of the tortilla. Sprinkle a quarter of the grated cheese over the beans, then fold the tortilla over to create a half-moon shape.

Cook the Quesadillas
Heat 1 tablespoon of olive oil in a non-stick skillet over medium heat. Place the folded quesadilla in the skillet and cook for 3-4 minutes until golden brown. Flip it carefully and add the remaining olive oil if needed. Cook the other side for an additional 3-4 minutes until the cheese is melted and the tortilla is crispy.

Repeat the process for the remaining tortillas, bean mixture, and cheese.

Slice and Serve
Once cooked, remove the quesadillas from the skillet and let them cool for a minute. Cut each quesadilla into wedges and serve warm with optional toppings such as sour cream, salsa, and sliced avocado.
