Air Fryer Black Bean and Corn Quesadilla
Description
This is such an easy and quick lunch or dinner that you can make in your air fryer. Today I used a black bean and corn mixture for the filling, but change it out for any of your favorites. Next time I will probably add some chicken or beef for a more traditional quesadilla.
Ingredients
Black Bean & Corn Quesadillas Ingredients:
- 15.5 ounces black beans, drained and rinsed
- 10 ounces whole kernel corn, drained
- 3 roasted red peppers, diced
- 2 teaspoons southwestern spice
- 2 8 inch tortillas, flour or whole-wheat tortillas
- 1 cup shredded cheese, ( I used both shredded cheddar and Monterey Jack )
Toppings:
Sour cream, diced olives, diced tomatoes, diced scallions, salsa, guacamole, etc.
Instructions
- Start by making the filling in a large skillet, add the black beans, corn, diced red pepper, and a couple of teaspoons of southwestern spice Then turn the temperature to medium, and saute until slightly softened, mix well, while it cooks, for about 3-5 minutes.
- Add about 1/4 cup of filling to the side of the tortilla.
- Then add about 1/4 cup of shredded cheese on top of the filling.
- Fold the tortilla.
- Place the tortillas onto the air fryer tray or basket, and spray with olive oil (this will help them to crisp up)
- Set the basket or tray into the air fryer and set the temperature to 350 degrees F, air fryer setting, for 5 minutes. When you have 3 minutes left, flip the quesadillas, spray again with olive oil, and then continue the air frying time.
- Plate, serve, and enjoy!
