These black bean and corn quesadillas are a perfect quick under 20 minute dinner for nights when you need dinner on the table fast.

 

Dinner doesn’t have to be complicated when it comes to getting food on the table fast.  Nor do you have to call for take-out food when you can make these black bean and roasted corn quesadillas in less than 20 minutes.  Take-out food doesn’t even get to your house in that time! Add a side salad with the quesadillas, and dinner is a go.

We found this great frozen corn from Green Giant a couple of years ago and we are in love with it.  There is something about roasted corn that makes it so much better.  Then when you add the sweetness of honey and some red bell peppers, it’s over the top good. I love making this from scratch but when times tight, I grab a bag from the freezer to use.

Tips for Making Black Bean and Roasted Corn Quesadillas:

The black bean and roasted corn quesadillas are easy to prepare and cook up fast. Cleanup is a breeze by using the one bowl and one skillet. 

My best tip for this recipe would be to have all of your ingredients ready to go when before you start to cook.  Thaw the corn, rinse the beans,  shred the cheese, dice the onion, and garlic.

This would also be a perfect Meatless Monday meal, but anytime is great for these black bean and roasted corn quesadillas!

Easy and Healthy weeknight dinner comes together in less than 20 minutes!
