2 tablespoons olive oil, plus extra for griddle
1 small red bell pepper, diced
1/2 red onion, diced
3/4 cup corn kernels, (about 1 ear)
2 teaspoons red pepper flakes
1 teaspoon ground cumin
Salt and freshly ground black pepper
1/2 cup freshly chopped cilantro leaves

1/2 cup sour cream
1/4 cup freshly chopped cilantro leaves

Toss to incorporate and saute for 3 minutes. Transfer to a bowl and add the cilantro. Preheat a long, 2-burner cast iron griddle, or a large saute pan over medium heat. Lay 2 tortillas on a work surface and spread each evenly with refried black beans. Place tortillas, bean side up, on the griddle (begin with 1 if using a saute pan).

2 tablespoons chopped cilantro
1/4 teaspoon curry curry powder

Steps:

  • Chop cilantro and add to sour cream,along with curry, mix well.

  • Slice mushrooms and gently tear the spinach and add to saute pan.
  • Add more olive oil if needed and gently saute the vegetables until the spinach is nicely wilted,about 5 minutes.
  • Remove vegetables from skillet and place in bowl.
  • In same skillet that has been wiped clean with a napkin,add 2 Tablespoons of olive oil.
  • Place one tortilla in skillet and add a generous amount of cheese (first),veggies,then cheese,to one half side of tortilla,like an omelet.
  • Fold the empty side over the other side of tortilla and cook until cheese melts and the tortilla is nicely browned.
  • Due to the fact that mine is stuffed with veggies and cheese I will flip it over once to ensure even melting and browning.
  • Transfer to a plate and slice into wedges.
  • Serve with Cilantro sour cream or your choice of additions (guacamole,salsa,ect--) This recipe will make 2 generously stuffed large tortilla quesadillas or 4 small.

Tips:

  • Use fresh, high-quality ingredients. This will make a big difference in the flavor of your quesadillas.
  • Don't overcrowd the pan. Cook the quesadillas in batches if necessary, to ensure that they are cooked evenly.
  • Use a good quality cheese that melts well. This will help to hold the quesadillas together and make them gooey and delicious.
  • Don't overcook the quesadillas. Cook them until the cheese is melted and the tortillas are golden brown, but not crispy.
  • Serve the quesadillas immediately with your favorite toppings. Sour cream, salsa, guacamole, and Pico de Gallo are all great options.
