Ingredients

• 2 (15 ounce) cans black beans, no salt added, drained, rinsed and mashed
• 1 (15 ounce) can corn, no salt added, drained and rinsed
• 1 (15 ounce) can diced tomatoes, no salt added, drained
• 1 cup cheddar cheese, shredded
• ¼ teaspoon salt
• ¼ teaspoon black pepper
• 2 tablespoons chili powder
• 8 (8 inch) whole wheat tortillas
• 2 tablespoons oil, divided

Instructions

1. In a large bowl, mix the beans, corn, tomatoes, cheese, salt, black pepper
   and chili powder.
2. Place ½ cup of the bean mixture on half of a tortilla. Fold tortilla in half and
   pat down so the filling is evenly distributed. Repeat until all the filling is used.
3. Heat ½ tablespoon oil in a large skillet over medium high heat. Cook 2
   quesadillas at a time. Cook 3-4 minutes per side or until golden brown. Repeat with
   remaining tortillas.

Ingredient Swap: Any beans will work! Try red, pinto or kidney.

Shopping Tip: Choose low salt/no salt added canned foods. If not available, draining and rinsing can reduce the salt content up to 40%!
