Ingredients
-
1 cup corn kernals(canned needs to be drained, frozen needs to be thawed first.)
1 cup grated zucchini, squeezed dry
1/4 cilantro, chopped
1 jalapeno, seeded and chopped (optional)
1-15 oz can black beans rinsed and drained
1/2 tsp salt
1/4 tsp black pepper
1 tsp chili powder
8 oz reduced fat Mexican blend shreeded cheese (I use Sargento RF 4 cheese mexican blend)
8 flour tortillas (7-8 in diameter)
2 TBS vegetable oil
Directions
In a large bowl, gently toss together the corn, zucchini, cilantro, jalapeno, beans, salt, pepper, and chili powder. Stir in the cheese.
Heat the oven to 200º. Set the tortillas on a work surface. Put about 1/3 cup or more of the filling on half of each tortilla, spreading it to the edge and then folding the other half over it.
In a large nonstick frying pan, heat 1/2 tablespoon of the oil over medium heat. Add 2 of the quesadillas to the pan and cook them for about 2 minutes per side, until the cheese melts. Transfer them to a baking sheet and keep them warm in the oven while you cook the remaining quesadillas, adding a bit more oil to the pan for each batch.
8 servings, or fewer if your a big eater.
The calories may be reduced depending mainly on the tortillas you use. The low carb type offer low calories, a good bit more protien and fiber. If you spray the skillet with non-stick oil, and illiminate the vegetable oil, this may also reduce the fat and calories, I use butter at home.
