Kidney bean and sweetcorn quesadillas
Save half of the kidney bean and sweetcorn mixture to use in the Stuffed red peppers recipe later in the week. The leftover tortilla wraps freeze well for another occasion. This recipe is part of a Budget vegetarian meal plan for one. In October 2023 this recipe was costed at an average of £2.06 when checking prices at four UK supermarkets. This recipe is designed to be made in conjunction with a low-cost store-cupboard.
