4 large tortillas
1 can black beans
2 ears corn
1 can black beans
2 ears corn
1 pinch each rosemary, oregano, cumin
1 block cheddar cheese (shredded)
1 green pepper
3 tomatoes
Lemon Juice to taste (Probably about 3 tablespoons)
Salt
Pepper
1. Begin by preparing all your ingredients. Mince the garlic, dice tomatoes, chop onions, cut green pepper into long thin slivers and shave the raw corn off of the cob.
2. Heat olive oil in a large pan. When you can feel the heat rising off of it, slide in the garlic. Let it simmer and bubble for just a minute but be careful not to let it burn as nothing smells stronger and more acrid than burnt garlic.
3. When the pieces of garlic are just beginning to turn a very light brown, tilt in the diced onions. Turn down the heat to about medium or medium low. Let simmer for a few minutes, stirring occasionally.
4. Add the brown sugar. Unlike regular sugar, brown sugar doesn’t have that high strident sweetness. Instead, it provides a warm round base taste which compliments the quick sharpness of the onion. The two tastes wrap around each other and provide a more solid and interesting base taste. Lean over and smell your ingredients warming in the pan- you’ll see what I mean.
5. Pour in the lemon juice. Lemon juice adds a certain lightness and freedom of spirit and it lifts up the taste combination a bit. It will also add more liquidity to the pan, though you can always provide this liquid by using a bit more olive oil or water.
6. Slide in the corn and the black beans and stir everything around a bit.
7. By sautéing the ingredients, you allow them to mingle for a while and blur some of the edges between them. Generally in cooking, you begin with a fairly straight forward list of simple ingredients and it’s moments like these that allow them to interact with and compliment one another. If you have the right combination, they will all bring out what’s best in one another.
8. Add the various herbs, salt and pepper. These will serve to bring out the highlights in each ingredient.
9. When this mixture smells so delicious that you can’t help but sneak tastes, it’s time to assemble
your quesadillas!
10. Preheat oven to 400˚ F
11. Place the tortillas onto cookie sheets and onto each one spoon out a quarter each of the sautéed mixture, the shredded cheese, green pepper and tomato.
12. Pop into oven and let bake for about ten minutes or until the cheese has melted and the edges of the tortillas look a bit crispy.
