These hearty black bean and tomato quesadillas are a quick and easy vegetarian snack or light meal served with a salad. We made them with full flavoured Isle of Wight tomatoes and served them with guacamole and yoghurt on the side.
Tomato and bean quesadillas
Equipment
- Frying pan
Ingredients
- 250 g tomatoes (we used Isle of Wight tomatoes)
- 2 tbsp olive oil
- 1 red onion finely chopped
- 3 garlic cloves crushed
- 1 tsp sweet smoked paprika
- 1 tsp ground cumin
- 1 tsp chilli flakes
- 800 g tinned beans (we used 2 tins of black beans and cannellini beans drained and rinsed
- Salt and pepper
- Four large tortilla wraps
- 120 g cheddar cheese
Method
- Chop the tomatoes into small pieces. If using cherries, quarter them.
- Heat the olive oil in a frying pan and cook the onions until soft but not coloured, about five minutes.
- Add the garlic and cook for another minute. Add the spices and cook for another couple of minutes before adding the tomatoes, cook for about five minutes until they have begun to soften.
- Now add the beans to the pan, crushing them slightly with the back of your spoon ora potato masher. Turn off the heat and set to one side.
- Now place the first wrap in a large, dry frying pan over a medium heat for a minute or so until it has just started to colour. Turn it over and put a generous couple of spoonful’s of the bean mixture on one half of the wrap and top with cheese. Fold the wrap over to make a half moon. Press down with a spatula and allow to cook for a couple of minutes before carefully flipping over to cook the other side. Repeat with the remaining wraps.
- Cut each wrap in half to make triangles and serve with guacamole, sriracha and/or yoghurt.
