This healthy Black Bean and Corn Hummus Quesadilla is an easy lunch or weeknight dinner. It is loaded with flavor!
Quesadillas were one of my go-to meals when I worked outside the home. They come together quickly and easily.
This Black Bean and Corn Hummus Quesadilla is no different, especially if you make the black bean and corn mixture ahead of time.
I've included it in several recipes so you can always switch things up a bit each night.
The black bean and corn mixture has taco spices. The chipotle hummus and salsa add more spice and compliment the taste of the black bean and corn mixture.
I used homemade chipotle hummus, which only takes a few minutes to make. You could always use store-bought if you need to, but like I said it takes only a few minutes to make.
It is way cheaper than store-bought. Those little tubs just aren't worth it.

🔪 Instructions
- Spread a layer of chipotle hummus on a tortilla, spreading it to all the edges.
- Spread black bean and corn mixture on top.
- Spread salsa on top and place the other tortilla on top.
- Pour olive oil (or spray) into a large pan. Once hot, carefully place the quesadilla in the skillet. Heat on medium heat until golden brown, then flip and cook the other side until golden brown.
- Slice on a cutting board.
🥡 Storage
I recommend making this vegan quesadilla recipe right before serving. If you need to store it, it will last up to 3 days in an airtight container in the fridge. Reheat in a skillet.
💭 Tips
- Make the black bean and corn mixture the day before to make things easier.
- To switch things up, make tacos or taco pizza.
- To save money, make the homemade chipotle hummus. It only takes a few minutes to make and you get about twice as much for a fraction of the price.
- I used brown rice tortillas for these but my favorite tortillas are some spinach amaranth tortillas from my local Farmer's Market. The tortillas you use really make a difference. (I wish I would have had my favorite tortillas the day I made these.)
- If you prefer a Jalapeño Cilantro Hummus then use that, or your favorite.
