3/4 lb. deli roast beef, thinly sliced
1 1/2 c. prepared thick and chunky salsa
1/4 c. fresh cilantro, chopped
3 tbs. fresh lime juice
1 c. canned black beans, rinsed, drained
1/2 c. frozen whole corn kernals, defrosted
8 medium flour tortillas (8 to 10 inch diameter)
3 c. (12 ounces) Co-Jack cheese, shredded
Directions:
- In a medium bowl, combine salsa, cilantro and lime juice. In second bowl, combine 1/2 c. salsa mixture, beans and corn. Set aside remaining salsa mixture.
- Sprinkle cheese evenly on one side of each tortilla; divide beef evenly among tortillas. Top with scant 1/4 c. of bean mixture. Fold tortillas in half.
- Place quesadillas on grid over medium, ash-covered coals. Grill, uncovered, 4 to 5 minutes or until golden brown; turn once. Serve with reserved salsa mixture. Makes 8 quesadillas.
Recipe Tips:
- If black beans are large, slightly mash before adding to salsa mixture.
- Cooked stir fry strips may be substituted for the deli meat.
- Add jalepenos and hot salsa to spice up your quesadillas.
