Total Time:
30 minutes
Yield:
4 servings

Ingredients

3 tbsp (45 mL) canola oil, divided
8 oz (227g) package crimini mushrooms
1 19oz (540 mL) can black beans, drained and rinsed
¼ cup (60 mL) salsa
1 tsp (5 mL) chili powder
1 tsp (5 mL) cumin
1 tsp (5 mL) paprika
1 tsp (5 mL) oregano
¼ tsp (1 mL) salt
4 large tortillas
1⅓ cup (315 mL) shredded cheddar cheese

Instructions

  1. Preheat oven to 425F and grease a baking sheet with 1 tbsp of canola oil.
  2. In a food processor, pulse cremini mushrooms with black beans, salsa, chili powder, cumin, paprika, oregano and salt until mixture resembles a chunky paste — you want to leave some chunks of mushrooms and black beans.
  3. Heat a large non-stick skillet over medium-high heat, add 1 tbsp of canola oil. Cook mixture, stirring occasionally until the mushrooms have cooked and the excess liquid has evaporated, about 5-7 minutes.
  4. Next assemble quesadillas. Divide mixture between 4 large tortillas, about a heaping ½ cup each and sprinkle with about ⅓ cup of grated cheese. Fold over the quesadilla, pressing down to adhere the tortilla to the cheese and place on the baking sheet. Brush tops with remaining 1 tbsp of canola oil.
  5. Bake in the centre of the oven for 10-12 minutes or until the tops of the quesadillas are browned and cheese is melted.
