Friday 10/15 "Giant Quesadilla"

Rachael Ray classic

Ingredients
• 3 tablespoons vegetable oil
• 3/4 cup chopped onion
• 1 29-ounce can black beans, drained, 1/2 cup liquid reserved
• 1 1/2 cups frozen corn kernels, thawed
• 1/2 cup chopped flat-leaf parsley
• 5 10-inch flour tortillas
• 8 ounces Monterey Jack cheese, shredded
• 1 cup store-bought green enchilada sauce

Preparation
Preheat oven to 400˚F.
In a skillet, heat the oil over medium heat. Add the onion and cook for 5 minutes. Add 1/2 the beans and mash into a chunky paste. Stir in the reserved liquid.
Grease a heavy, ovenproof skillet. In a bowl, combine the corn, parsley and remaining black beans. Place a tortilla in the skillet and spread with 1/3 cup of the mashed black bean mixture. Top with 2/3 cup corn-bean mixture and 1/2 cup cheese. Press to compress the layers. Repeat with the remaining tortillas, mashed black beans, corn-bean mixture and cheese.
Bake until cheese is melted and the casserole is heated through, about 30 minutes. Transfer to the broiler and cook for 1 minute. Serve with the enchilada sauce.

The verdict: I love black beans! This was a hit with my kids as long as they saw more cheese than veggies.
