Vegan Black Bean Quesadilla

Follow our step-by-step guide on how to make Vegan Black Bean Quesadilla.

1. Step 1

   To start your delicious quesadilla adventure, grab your food processor and blend together the great Northern beans, 3/4 cup of diced tomatoes, and garlic until you achieve a smooth and creamy texture.

2. Step 2

   Next, sprinkle in the nutritional yeast, ground cumin, chili powder, salt, and a dash of cayenne pepper, then blend again until everything is well combined and bursting with flavor.

3. Step 3

   Once your bean mixture is ready, transfer it to a large bowl and gently fold in the black beans along with the remaining 1/4 cup of diced tomatoes, creating a colorful and hearty filling.

4. Step 4

   Now, let’s heat things up! In a large skillet, warm some olive oil over medium-high heat.

5. Step 5

   When the oil is shimmering, place one tortilla in the skillet and spread about 1/4 cup of your flavorful bean filling on top.

6. Step 6

   Carefully layer another tortilla over the filling and let it cook until everything is warmed through, which should take about 10 minutes.

   For that perfect golden-brown finish, give the top tortilla a light spray with cooking spray, then gently flip the quesadilla to cook the other side until it’s beautifully browned, taking about 3 to 5 minutes.

   Repeat this delightful process with the remaining tortillas and filling, adding more olive oil to the skillet as needed to keep things sizzling.
