Vegan (with dairy-free cheese)
Gluten-free (with gluten-free tortillas)
Makes 2 large quesadillas
Ingredients
15 oz. can black beans
Tomato
Corn, about 1/2 cup (I used frozen and thawed it)
2 cloves garlic
2-3 green onions
Cooked brown rice
Shredded cheese
Cumin
4 large tortillas
Directions
Rinse and drain black beans. Chop tomatoes and green onion. Mince garlic.
Place a tortilla on a skillet. (I leave the stove turned off until assembly is complete.)
Add a layer of cheese, followed by the beans, veggies, and rice.
Add another layer of cheese to “glue” both sides together.
Sprinkle on a bit of cumin and then place the other tortilla on top.
Heat over medium for a few minutes on each side or until heated through.
*Note: for easier flipping, just use one tortilla per quesadilla. Fill half with the toppings, then fold the top half over.

Oh those look good! I haven't had quesadillas for such a long time and mine are always much simpler. Note to self – try harder!
Hi Jacqueline! ALL quesadillas are a win in my book! Simple ones are fantastic too, and that's usually what I go with 🙂 But these are awesome if you want to put in a little extra effort!
Love the look of this recipe, just pinned it, so I can try it later.
Hope you enjoy!

I made these for lunch today both vegan and gluten-free! So DELICIOUS! Mine did not turn out as beautiful as yours, but they were still amazing! Thank you for sharing this recipe (:
Hey Alison! I LOVE that you made these vegan and gluten-free! So glad you enjoyed them. Thanks for the sweet message! 🙂
Because I don't eat dairy, I am going to sub the cheese for a light spread of guacamole to hold the Quesadilla together.
Hi Diane! I skip the dairy too and avocado/guacamole is amazing on quesadillas!! Hope you enjoy! 🙂
The cheese is dairy free
I tried this a few days ago. This was a recipe that my family will definitely want me to repeat…children and all! I served these with fresh avocado, salsa, and sour cream. The only thing I would change is to use one tortilla and fold it for easier handling.
This is a recipe that my family definitely wants me to make again. I served these with fresh avocado, salsa, and a little sour cream. The only thing I would do differently is use one tortilla and folded or easier handling.
Hi Betty! I'm so glad your whole family enjoyed these! 🙂 I totally agree with using one tortilla – this was a recipe from 4 years ago, and my quesadilla skills have evolved a bit since then 😉 Will go in and update so it's easier for people in the future – THANK YOU for your feedback!! Have a lovely weekend!
