Black Bean Quesadillas with Lime Crema

Ingredients

• 1 cup Black beans (canned, drained and rinsed)
• 4 small Tortillas (flour or corn)
• 1 cup Cheddar cheese (shredded)
• 1 tbsp Olive oil
• 1 tsp Ground cumin
• 1/2 tsp Chili powder
• 1/2 tsp Garlic powder
• 1/4 tsp Salt(optional)
• 2 tbsp Lime juice
• 1/2 cup Sour cream (or plain Greek yogurt)
• 1 tbsp Cilantro (chopped)(optional)

Instructions

1. 1

   Prep (10 minutes total): In a bowl, mix black beans with cumin, chili powder, garlic powder, and salt (if using). In a second bowl, stir sour cream with lime juice and cilantro (if using).

2. 2

   Cook (12 minutes total): Heat olive oil in a skillet over medium heat. Place 2 tortillas in the skillet and sprinkle each with cheese. Spoon the spiced beans over the cheese, then top with more cheese and the remaining tortillas.

3. 3

   Cook until golden and crisp, about 3–4 minutes per side, pressing lightly with a spatula so the filling sets and the quesadillas seal. Repeat for any remaining quesadillas if needed.

4. 4

   Serve: Cut into wedges and spoon lime crema over the top.
