1
red onion
2 clove
garlic
1 tin
black beans
1 sachet
Mexican Fiesta spice blend
1 punnet
sliced mushrooms
1 bag
baby spinach leaves
6
mini flour tortillas
(Contains Gluten, Soy, Wheat; May be present: Milk, Soy. )
1 packet
Cheddar cheese
(Contains Milk;)
1 cob
corn
1
tomato
1 packet
sour cream
(Contains Milk;)
olive oil
20 g
butter
drizzle
vinegar (white wine or rice wine)
Preheat the oven to 200°C/180°C fan-forced. Finely chop the red onion. Finely chop the garlic. Drain and rinse the black beans. Transfer the black beans to a medium bowl and roughly mash with a potato masher or fork.
In a large frying pan, heat a drizzle of olive oil over a medium-high heat. Cook the onion (reserve some for the salsa if you like!), stirring occasionally until softened, 2-3 minutes. Add the garlic and Mexican Fiesta spice blend and cook until fragrant, 1 minute. Add the sliced mushrooms, butter and another drizzle of olive oil and cook, stirring occasionally, until tender, 4-5 minutes. Add the black beans and baby spinach leaves and cook until wilted, 1 minute.
Heat the mini flourtortillas on a plate in the microwave for 10 second bursts, until warmed through. Arrange the tortillas over an oven tray lined with baking paper. Divide the bean filling evenly between the tortillas, spooning it onto one half of each tortilla, then top with shredded Cheddar cheese. Fold the empty half of each tortilla over to enclose the filling and press down gently with a spatula. Brush or spray the tortillas with a drizzle of olive oil and season with salt and pepper.
Bake the quesadillas until the cheese has melted and the tortillas are golden, 10-12 minutes. Spoon any overflowing bean filling and cheese back into the quesadillas. TIP: You can place a sheet of baking paper and a second oven tray on top of the quesadillas if they unfold during cooking.
While the quesadillas are baking, wash out the pan and return to a high heat. Slice the corn kernels from the cob and add to the pan. Cook until lightly charred, 3-4 minutes. Finely chop the tomato. In a medium bowl, combine the charred corn, tomato and any reserved onion. Add a drizzle of vinegar and olive oil. Mix well and season to taste with salt and pepper. TIP: Cover the frying pan with a lid if the corn kernels are "popping" out!
Divide the quesadillas between plates. Serve with the tomato and charred corn salsa and sour cream on the side.
