Instructions:

  • To begin making the Bean Spinach And Corn Quesadilla Recipe, first get all your ingredients ready
  • You can used canned red beans or click here to see the recipe of how to make refried beans at home
  • Keep this aside
  • In a pan, heat oil, add chopped yellow pepper, saute and cook for a minute on medium heat until soft and tender
  • Once the peppers are cooked, add the spinach and corn and cook until the spinach wilts
  • Add the refried beans mixture and stir well to combine
  • Finally add the paprika, mixed herbs and salt to taste and mix well to combine
  • Check the salt and spice levels and adjust to suit your taste
  • Turn off the heat and stir in the chopped coriander leaves
  • The filling is now ready for the Bean & Spinach Quesadilla
  • Our next step is to grill the Quesadillas
  • Preheat a cast iron skillet while we fill and prepare the quesadillas
  • Spread butter on one side of the large tortilla
  • Place the buttered side down on the skillet and cook on medium heat
  • Spoon over some refried bean and spinach filling over one-half of the tortilla, leaving about 1/2 an inch space from the edge
  • Sprinkle some grated cheese over this filling
  • Fold over the empty half of the tortilla, covering the filling, making a semi-circular quesadilla
  • Heat this side until the bottom-surface develops deep golden-brown spots and the cheese melts
  • This would take about two to three minutes
  • Press down the Quesadilla so the cheese melts
  • Once the bottom has turned golden and crisp, flip the Quesadilla over carefully and allow the other side to brown up
  • Once done, transfer to the serving plate
  • Using a pizza cutter or a knife, cut to form triangular portions of the quesadilla
  • Serve the Bean Spinach And Corn Quesadilla along with Spicy Mexican Salsa, for a weeknight dinner, followed by a dessert of Greek Yogurt Chocolate Mousse Recipe
