Cowboy Quesadillas

Yield: 4 servings

Ingredients

• 1 1/2 cups thick and chunky salsa
• 1/4 cup chopped fresh cilantro
• 3 tablespoons fresh lime juice
• 1 cup canned black beans, rinsed and drained
• 1/2 cup frozen corn, thawed
• 3 cups shredded Colby-jack cheese
• 8 (8 inch) flour tortillas
• 3/4 pound thinly sliced deli roast beef
• Sour cream, for optional garnish

Instructions

1. In a bowl, combine salsa, cilantro and lime juice. Transfer half of the salsa mixture to a second bowl; add beans and corn. Set aside remaining salsa mixture.
2. Sprinkle cheese evenly over tortillas; divide beef evenly among tortillas.
3. Top each with a scant 1/4 cup of bean mixture. Fold tortillas in half.
4. Grill quesadillas over medium, ash-covered coals, uncovered, 4 to 5 minutes or until golden brown, turning once. (Or place quesadillas on a baking sheet covered with foil and broil until cheese melts and tortillas begin to brown, a few minutes on each side.)
5. Serve with reserved salsa mixture and dollops of sour cream.
