  • 1 tablespoon Olive oil or butter
  • 0.25 cup Salsa(optional)

Instructions

  1. 1

    In a small bowl, toss the drained black beans with cumin and garlic powder. Lightly mash a few of the beans with a fork to help them stick to the tortilla.

  2. 2

    Lay two tortillas flat and sprinkle a layer of cheese over each.

  3. 3

    Spread the black bean mixture evenly over the cheese-covered tortillas, then top with the remaining cheese and the other two tortillas.

  4. 4

    Heat the oil or butter in a large skillet over medium heat.

  5. 5

    Place one quesadilla in the skillet and cook for 2-3 minutes until the bottom is golden brown and crispy.

  6. 6

    Carefully flip the quesadilla and cook for another 2 minutes until the cheese is fully melted.

  7. 7

    Repeat with the second quesadilla.

  8. 8

    Slice into wedges and serve immediately with salsa if desired.
