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!
