This rich vegan gluten free Black Bean and Corn Vegan Quesadilla with roasted green chiles can be made in no time.
There are days when I just want a quick, easy meal. A meal that tastes good, but I don't need to spend a lot of time thinking about what is going to go into it.
A meal that is a no-brainer that I know will come out because I know the flavors go well together. This Black Bean and Corn Vegan Quesadilla is one of those meals.
Vegan quesadillas in general are great for a quick meal. They can be customized to your tastes, and you can make them as simple or as complex as you want. I personally love mine rich and spicy.
Many moons ago when I was tired from working all day as a teacher, and didn't want to spend a lot of time in the kitchen, I would make a vegan quesadilla. In fact, I made them a lot.
I also gravitate toward them when I want some comfort food.
Besides this vegan quesadilla, I like to make quesadillas with hummus or refried beans. I used hummus in my Caramelized Onion and Roasted Red Pepper Quesadilla, and refried beans in my Spinach Beanadillas.
I love the combination of spicy black beans, green chiles, corn, and vegan cream cheese.
This vegan quesadilla is sweet, rich and spicy. It has a sweet flavor from the corn, and depending upon how hot your chiles are, you get a spicy kick from the green chiles.
Vegan cream cheese adds a rich creamy flavor.
I have included a link for roasting green chiles, which I just happened to have in my freezer. They are pretty simple to make, but if you're in a hurry canned green chiles work well too.

I love the sound of spinach amaranth mesquite tortillas. Where can I find them?
Willow Moon says
I buy them at my local Farmer's Market here in Tucson. I really want to figure out how to make them, but I don't know if I could make them as good as the ones I buy.
