161. Black Bean and Corn Quesedillas


These were really good and we all really liked them. Elise claimed to hate black beans and yet she ate it all and loved it.

*2 tsp olive oil
*3 TBSP chopped onion
*1 can black beans, drained and rinsed
*1 can kernel corn, drained
*1 TBSP brown sugar
*1/4 cup salsa
*1/4 tsp red pepper flakes
*2 TBSP butter
*tortillas

Heat oil in 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, about 3 minutes
Melt butter, a couple tsp at a time and place tortilla in the skillet, sprinkle evenly with cheese
Top with some of the bean mixture
Place another tortilla on top and cook until golden and flip

I added chicken to make it a whole meal for us.
