Directions

1. Heat 1 tablespoon of olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat.
2. Add the sliced bell peppers, onion, and garlic to the skillet. Cook for 5-7 minutes, or until the vegetables are softened.

4. Transfer the vegetable mixture to a plate and set aside.
5. Place a large non-stick skillet or griddle over medium heat and add 1/2 tablespoon of olive oil.
6. Place a flour tortilla on the skillet and sprinkle 1/2 cup of shredded cheese evenly over one half of the tortilla.
7. Spread 1/4 cup of black beans and 1/4 cup of corn over the cheese.
8. Top with a quarter of the cooked vegetable mixture and sprinkle with 1 tablespoon of fresh cilantro.
9. Fold the empty side of the tortilla over the filling to create a half-moon shape.
10. Cook the quesadilla for 2-3 minutes on each side, or until the cheese is melted and the tortilla is golden brown.
11. Repeat the process with the remaining tortillas and filling ingredients.
12. Cut each quesadilla into wedges and serve hot with sour cream, salsa, and guacamole, if desired.
