About this recipe
Black bean quesadillas with guacamole Thermomix TM7 bring a Mexican-inspired vegetarian feast to your table with minimal effort. Searching for easy quesadilla recipes or a quick weeknight dinner made in an all-in-one kitchen machine? This recipe delivers on every count. The TM7 grinds the fresh tomato salsa to a chunky consistency, mashes ripe avocados with lime juice and sea salt into silky guacamole, and blends the black bean and sweetcorn filling so every tortilla is packed with flavour. Cheddar melts into the warm filling, creating that irresistible gooey texture children and adults adore. Because the bowl weighs ingredients directly as you add them, there is no scale to wash and no guesswork. Serve these crispy quesadillas for a casual family dinner, a Friday treat or when friends drop by; they come together faster than ordering takeaway and taste far fresher.
Preparation tips
- Drain the tinned black beans and sweetcorn thoroughly before blending, otherwise the quesadilla filling becomes watery and soaks through the flour tortillas during frying.
- Mash the avocados with the lime juice immediately after cutting so they keep their fresh green colour; the acidity prevents browning while you assemble and fry the quesadillas.
- For a milder family version, omit the dried chilli flakes from the guacamole and let everyone add their own heat at the table with extra salsa or hot sauce.
Recipe variations
- Make it gluten-free by using corn tortillas instead of flour tortillas; check that the cheddar is vegetarian rennet-free if needed, and fry them briefly so they stay pliable without cracking.
- A festive variant adds grilled peppers and cumin to the black bean filling, topped with a dollop of soured cream and extra coriander for a colourful party platter cut into triangles.
