Yield
1 serving

Ingredients

  • 50 g Bacon
  • 100 g Black Bean
  • 50 g Cheddar Cheese
  • 50 g Corn kernel
  • 2 g Cumin
  • 70 g Red Bell Pepper
  • 40 g Salsa
  • 5 g Vegetable oil
  • 100 g Whole Wheat Tortilla
  • 40 g Yellow Onion

Instructions

  1. Finely dice the bacon, red bell pepper, and onion.
  2. Cook the bacon in a skillet over medium heat until browned and crisp, about 6 minutes. Transfer the bacon to a plate, leaving a small amount of fat in the skillet.
  3. Add the oil, onion, and bell pepper to the skillet. Cook for 4 minutes until softened.
  4. Stir in the black beans, corn, salsa, cumin, and cooked bacon. Cook for 3 minutes, lightly mashing some of the beans to help the filling hold together.
  5. Divide the filling and cheddar over half of each tortilla, then fold the tortillas closed.
  6. Cook the quesadillas in a clean skillet over medium heat for 2 to 3 minutes per side, until golden and the cheese has melted. Cool slightly before cutting into wedges for meal-prep storage.
