BLACK BEAN AND CORN QUESADILLAS

Black Bean and Corn Quesadillas image

These are really cheesy, a little bit spicy, and a little bit sweet. Feel free to play around and add chicken or veggies, if you desire. Don't forget the salsa and sour cream! I use dishes like this as a staple on my successful Weight Watchers program.

Ingredients

2 teaspoons olive oil
3 tablespoons finely chopped onions
1 (15 1/2 ounce) can black beans, drained and rinsed
1 (10 ounce) can whole kernel corn, drained
1 tablespoon brown sugar
1/4 cup salsa
1/4 teaspoon red pepper flakes
2 tablespoons butter, divided
8 (8 inch) flour tortillas, look for whole wheat, low calorie
1 1/2 cups shredded monterey jack cheese, divided
salsa, for garnish
sour cream, for topping if desired

Steps:

Heat oil in a large saucepan over medium heat. Stir in onion, and cook until softened, about 2 minutes. Stir in beans and corn, then add sugar, salsa, and pepper flakes; mix well. Cook until heated through, about 3 minutes.
Melt 2 teaspoons of the butter in a large skillet over medium heat. Place a tortilla in the skillet, sprinkle evenly with cheese, then top with some of the bean mixture. Place another tortilla on top, cook until golden, then flip and cook on the other side. Repeat with remaining tortillas and filling.
