¼ cup corn kernels, fresh or frozen
¼ cup black beans, drained
1 tablespoon cilantro, roughly chopped
1 ounce Monterey Jack, shredded
1 ounce goat cheese
2 10-inch flour tortillas
1. Preheat the toaster oven to 450°F on the Bake setting with the rack in
position B. Line baking pan with aluminum foil.
2. Toss the zucchini, peppers, onion and garlic with 1 teaspoon of the olive oil,
salt and pepper in a medium mixing bowl. Put vegetables on the prepared
baking pan. Bake in preheated oven until vegetables are softened and
browned, about 15 to 20 minutes. Return vegetables to mixing bowl and toss
with the corn, beans and cilantro. Reduce temperature to 400°F.
3. Assemble quesadillas. Line up the tortillas on a work surface. Place even
amounts of the vegetable mixture on half of each tortilla, then place even
amounts of cheese on each. Fold each in half, making a half-moon shape.
4. Place the quesadillas on baking pan and brush the tops lightly with remaining
oil. Bake quesadillas at 400°F for about 8 to 10 minutes, until tops are golden
and cheese is melted.
5. Cut quesadillas in half and serve with salsa, guacamole and/or sour cream.

a casual appetizer. Either way it is sure to keep the family satisfied.
