Ingredients
- 1 cup diced mango about 1 medium/large mango, 2 small ones
- ¼ cup diced red onion
- ¼ cup diced red pepper
- 1-2 tablespoons finely minced jalapeno pepper
- 2 tablespoons chopped cilantro
- 1 tablespoon fresh lime juice
- 1 can black beans rinsed and drained
- ¼ teaspoon ground cumin
- ¼ teaspoon coriander
- ¼ teaspoon onion powder
- ¼ teaspoon garlic powder
- salt and pepper
- 1 ½ tablespoon water
- 1-2 cups shredded pepper jack cheese
- 4-6 small/med flour tortillas
- sour cream optional, for serving
Instructions
- Preheat a non-stick griddle or skillet to medium high heat.
- Combine mango, red onion, bell pepper, jalapeno, cilantro, and lime juice in a bowl. Sprinkle with a couple pinches of salt and a few cracks of pepper. Gently stir to combine and place in fridge to chill.
- Place beans, water, cumin, coriander, onion and garlic in a microwave-safe bowl and stir. Cover with plastic wrap and prick plastic with a fork to vent. Microwave for about 1 ½ minutes (microwaves vary) until beans are hot. Use a fork to lightly mash beans, leaving some beans still in tact. Season with salt and pepper to taste.
- Lightly brush pan with a little oil and place tortillas on it. Sprinkle tortillas with pepper jack cheese (I use a generous ¼ cup on 6-inch tortillas) and cook until cheese is melted and tortillas are toasted and golden brown.
- Remove from heat and divide bean mixture between tortillas, top with mango salsa and fold tortillas in half. Use a pizza cutter to cut into wedges. Serve with sour cream if desired.
Notes
- If you have leftover ingredients, store them separately in airtight containers in the refrigerator and assemble quesadillas as desired. Everything here should keep well for at least 2-3 days.
- Feel free to add some cooked chicken or steak for extra protein!
