📝 Ingredients

• 6 flour or corn tortillas
• 1 cup corn kernels, can be canned/fresh or frozen and thawed
• 1 large tomato diced into cubes
• 1 red onion diced into cubes
• 1 can black beans drained (420g)
• 120 g cheddar or vegan cheese grated
• Handful of fresh coriander chopped
• 1 tablespoon olive oil
• Salt and Pepper to taste
• 3 tablespoon Greek yoghurt or mayonnaise
• ½ teaspoon chipotle in adobo sauce
• Lime or lemon (optional)

👨‍🍳 Instructions

1. 1Dry fry corn on a pan on a medium heat without any oil to get them nice and charred. Once charred, remove corn to a bowl
2. 2Sauté onion in olive oil on a medium heat, once cooked, add to the same bowl.
3. 3Add beans, tomato, and coriander to the bowl, season with salt and pepper, mix to combine all ingredients
4. 4Mix chipotle sauce ingredients in a small bowl, you can adjust either adding more or less chipotle depending on how spicy you like it
5. 5In the same pan, add a tortilla (there’s no need to add any oil). Add some sauce to half of the tortilla
6. 6Spoon some of the mixture evenly on top of the sauce, still keeping on half of the tortilla. Then top with cheese.
7. 7Using a spatula, fold the empty side of the quesadilla over and press down so that the cheese becomes like a glue to stick the tortilla together.
8. 8After a minute, flip the tortilla over so the second side gets a nice golden colour. Once golden remove off the pan and continue with the remaining tortillas.
9. 9Slice quesadillas in half, squeeze some lemon or lime (optional) and dig in!
