Bean and Cheese Quesadilla

This is my first recipe suggestion from a friend! Thanks so much Katie!  Brad is out of town and I was running errands with three really hungry girls until 5:30 today so I got home and needed something quick.  Perfect!  Katie had just emailed me this recipe and it looked good and easy.  It is a great variation on a boring cheese quesadilla and it is really good and adds some health. Ayden and Laela scarfed it down.  Alex on the other hand wouldn't try it and went to bed hungry because she was too stubborn to try something that had beans in it.  I know she would have liked it too.

Ingredients
2 teaspoons olive oil
3 tablespoons finely chopped onion {i used more}
1 (15.5 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
1 1/2 cups shredded Monterey Jack cheese, divided

Directions
1.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.
2.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.

{I didn't have monterey jack cheese so I used pepper jack for mine and sharp cheddar for the girls without the red pepper flakes since Ayden can't handle the spice.  I also used the uncooked tortillas and a nonstick pan so the butter was not necessary.}

Thanks so much Katie!! Keep em coming.
