Ingredients

Quesadillas:

1 tablespoon Olive oil

1 1/2 teaspoons Bottled minced garlic

2 cups Chopped plum tomatoes

1/2 cup Chopped fresh cilantro

1 (15-ounce) can Black beans, drained and rinsed

4 (8-inch) flour tortillas

Cooking spray

3/4 cup (3 ounces) preshredded Mexican blend cheese

1 Grilled chicken breast diced

Salsa:

1 cup Frozen whole-kernel corn

1/2 cup Chopped fresh cilantro

2 tablespoons Fresh lime juice

1/2 teaspoon Bottled minced garlic

1 Red bell pepper, chopped

Preparation

To prepare the quesadillas, preheat the broiler.

Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add garlic; sauté 30 seconds. Add tomatoes, 1/2 cup cilantro, and beans; cook 5 minutes or until liquid evaporates, stirring occasionally. Place tortillas on a baking sheet coated with cooking spray. Top each tortilla with 1/2 cup bean mixture and 3 tablespoons cheese; add diced pieces of grilled chicken on top; fold in half. Lightly coat tops with cooking spray. Broil 3 minutes or until cheese melts and tortillas begin to brown. Cut each tortilla into 3 wedges.

To prepare salsa, combine corn and remaining ingredients in a small saucepan. Bring to a boil over high heat, and cook for 2 minutes, stirring frequently. Serve with quesadillas.
