Ingredients

• 8 Corn tortillas
• 2 cups Shredded cheddar cheese
• 1 cup Sweet corn kernels
• 1 cup Canned black beans (drained and rinsed)
• 0.5 cup Sliced green onions
• 0.25 cup Chopped fresh cilantro
• 2 tablespoons Butter

Directions

Step 1

Preheat a large skillet over medium heat.

Step 2

In a mixing bowl, combine the cheddar cheese, sweet corn, black beans, green onions, cilantro, salt, and black pepper.

Step 3

Place a tortilla on a flat surface and sprinkle a quarter of the filling mixture evenly over half of the tortilla. Fold the other half over the filling to form a half-moon shape.

Step 4

Repeat with the remaining tortillas and filling.

Step 5

Melt 1 tablespoon of butter in the skillet. Place two quesadillas in the skillet and cook for about 3-4 minutes on each side, or until the cheese is melted and the tortillas are golden brown and crisp.

Remove the quesadillas from the skillet and set aside on a plate. Repeat with the remaining butter and quesadillas.

Step 7

Cut each quesadilla into thirds and serve immediately with sour cream and salsa, if desired.
