These Easy Veggie Quesadillas are a great meal option and they come together in less than 20 minutes! And did I mention that they only cost $10 to make?!

I’ve been on a mission to cut my grocery bill in half by coming up with nutritious recipes that cost only a few dollars to make. And I’m proud to say that I’ve got another healthy $10 recipe for you!

These Easy Veggie Quesadillas are packed with a nutritious combination of tomatoes, green chiles, black beans, and fresh cilantro! To save money, I used canned vegetables which are a budget-friendly way to provide your family with some essential nutrients. You can also choose to save a little extra money by making your own taco seasoning with ingredients that you already have on hand.

What You’ll Need to Make This Recipe:

• 1 Pack of Flour Tortillas –$2.78

• 1 Pack of Shredded Fiesta Blend Cheese or Colby Jack Cheese –$2.22

• 2 Cans of Diced Tomatoes with Green Chiles –$1.76

• 1 Can of Black Beans –$0.78

• 1 Can of Whole Kernel Corn –$0.50

• Fresh Cilantro –$0.88

• Taco Seasoning–$0.42

• Salt/Pepper –already had this at home

Total: $10.27 (including tax)

To make these Easy Veggie Quesadillas, combine the black beans, tomatoes/green chiles, corn, cilantro, and taco seasoning in a large bowl. Toss until all ingredients are combined and season with salt/pepper to taste.

*Tip: To help decrease the sodium intake, try rinsing and draining your canned vegetables.

Heat a large skillet or stovetop grill to medium heat and add a couple of tablespoons of oil. Place the tortilla in the skillet or on the grill, and fill half of the tortilla with about 2 tablespoons of shredded cheese, and a serving of the veggie mixture.

Fold and cook for about 2 minutes on each side or until the surface is slightly crispy and brown. Cut into wedges and serve.

These Easy Veggie Quesadillas were so cheap, quick and easy to make, and SO delicious! They also provided a good source of fiber and vitamin C, thanks to all of those yummy veggies!
