Black Bean and Goat Cheese Quesadillas

Prep Time : 10 Min Total Time: 25 min

Serves 4

One quesadilla per person is surely not enough for almost anyone we know so make sure to make plenty to go around. This is a great party food or to make if you are just having cocktails.

• 1 can (15 onces) black beans, rinsed and drained (1 1/2 cups)
• 3 oz goad cheese, crumbled (1/2 cup)
• 1 medium tomato, seeded and coarsely chopped
• 3/4 cup corn kernels ( from 2 ears of corn)
• 2 scallions, coarsely chipped
• 1 tablespoon plus 1 1/2 teaspoons coarsely chopped fresh oregano coarse sale and freshly ground pepper
• 10 six inch corn tortillas

1. Mash beans in medium bowl until chunky. Add goat cheese, tomato, corn, scallions, and oregano. Season with salt and pepper, and stir until well combined.

2. Heat a grill pan over medium heat. Spread 1/2 cup bean mixture evenly over 1 tortilla, and top with another tortilla. Repeat with remaining bean mixture and tortillas.

3. Raise heat to medium-high. Grill quesadillas, 1 or 2 at a time, until grill marks appear and filling is hot, about 2 min per side. Cut into wedges and serve warm.

Note: Alternative cooking can give the quesadillas a smoky flavor if you cook them on an outdoor grill.
