1

Start by gathering all your ingredients. This will make the cooking process flow smoothly.

2

Heat 1 tablespoon of olive oil in a skillet over medium heat. Add the diced onion and chopped green bell pepper. Sauté for about 5 minutes or until the vegetables are soft.

3

Once the veggies are tender, add the drained black beans, cumin, and salt. Stir everything together and cook for another 5 minutes to allow the flavors to meld.

4

While the mixture is cooking, preheat a separate skillet or griddle over medium heat.

5

Take a corn tortilla and spread a generous amount of the black bean mixture over one half of the tortilla. Sprinkle cheese on top, and fold the tortilla in half.

6

Place the quesadilla in the preheated skillet. Cook for about 3 to 4 minutes on each side until the tortilla is crispy and the cheese has melted.

7

Repeat with the remaining tortillas and filling.

Once done, remove from heat, and let them cool for a minute. Garnish with chopped cilantro on top.

Slice into wedges and serve warm. Enjoy your homemade Quesadilla de Maíz y Frijoles!
