Black Bean and Corn Quesadillas

Need a meatless dish??? At this one to your list!!!
Make it even better and dare to make some homemade tortillas.

This recipe comes from allrecipes and we had it for dinner tonight. It was awesome and delish, not to mention, without having to do any meat it was ready in about 20 minutes or less!

2 tsp olive oil
3 TBSP finely chopped onion (I used the whole thing)
1 can black beans, drained and rinsed
1 can whole kernel corn, drained
1 TBSP brown sugar
1/2 Cup Salsa (or more)
1/4 tsp red pepper flakes (we left these out for the kids sake)
2 TBSP butter, divided
8 Flour tortillas
1 1/2 cup shredded Monterey Jack cheese (or more), divided
(note: I used large tortillas and it made about 5 quesadillas.)



Heat oil in a large saucepan over medium heat. Stir in onion, and cook until softened. Stir in beans and corn, then add sugar, salsa and pepper flakes; mix well. Cook until heated through, a few minutes.

Melt 2 tsp butter in a large skillet over med heat. Place tortilla in the skilled, sprinkle evenly with cheese, then top with some of the bean mixture. Place another tortilla on top, cook until golden, then flip and cool on the other side.
Melt more butter as needed and repeat with remaining tortillas and filling.

Serve with sour cream and salsa on the side and enjoy!
