  • Add the black beans, onion, bell pepper, jalapeño, corn, vegan cheese (if using), vegan yogurt, salsa, and all taco seasoning ingredients. Mix until fully combined.
  • Arrange 2 tortillas in the center of the sheet pan and place the remaining tortillas around the edges, overlapping and hanging slightly over the sides.
  • Spread the quesadilla filling evenly across the tortillas, reaching all edges.
  • Place the remaining tortillas over the center filling, then fold the overhanging tortillas inward to fully cover the mixture.
