Tex Mex Black Bean and Corn Quesadillas

View Recipe  • Print Recipe

This is an old favorite at our house. These Tex Mex Black Bean and Corn Quesadillas ROCK!! If you are feeding a crowd, you can crank half a dozen these out pretty fast if you bake them in the oven.

Give the canned beans a good shower.

Toss everything in a bowl or large zipper bag if making ahead or making big batches to freeze for later.  This recipe freezes great and gives you a super easy go-to meal on a lazy rainy day.

Mix it up!

Assembly line the tortillas on a pan sprayed with non stick spray.  Oh how I love the assembly lines in food prep.

Use a one cup measure cup if you want to make things easy on yourself.  You can make 5 of these using the one cup as a scoop.

Top them each with another tortilla and brush with some melted butter or spray with non stick spray.  The butter tastes way better by the way.

Bake in the oven.  5 quesadillas at ONCE!  It is a quesadilla miracle.

Serve with your favorite fixin’s and you got yourself a FIESTA!
