Cheesy Chipotle Black Bean Quesadillas

These cheesy chipotle black bean quesadillas come together so easy and are absolutely packed with flavour.

Quesadillas are honestly one of my favourite quick foods to make cuz they're so GOOD and so easy to make. And can you ever go wrong with cheese filled anything?? No, of course not

These quesadillas are filled with a delicious mixture of black beans, mushrooms, chipotle peppers in adobo sauce (they add so much flavour and smokiness) and lots of cheese. Perfection.

You could honestly substitute the beans with another protein like chicken or beef.

Ingredients for the Chipotle Black Bean Quesadillas

Black beans
Onion
Garlic
Mushroom
Chipotle peppers in adobo sauce
Cumin powder
Monetary jack & Mozzarella cheese
Tortillas
Sour cream
Lemon juice

TIPS

Add all seasonings to taste!! Add a bit and check to see if it's enough and if not, add more. You can always add more but cannot take it out.

Cover the pan with a lid while cooking so the cheese melts faster and evenly

When cooking the quesadilla on both sides, add more oil or butter to make it crispier

Happy Cooking!
