Black Bean and Corn Quesadillas

Today I went to the Superstore and attended their free* 'what's for dinner?' cooking class. They made two dishes from the Insiders Report, promoting their products. It was a free class so you really can't blame them. The one recipe that I took away is the Black Bean and Corn Quesadillas. The flavour combination is fantastic, and it makes for a quick and easy meal with a salad on the side.

I am going to post the recipe as it was handed to me, but you will be able to find the same products with a different brand. Unfortunately my camera battery was dead so I wasn't able to get any pictures of this one.

*they have started asking attendants to pay $10 for the class, however, they give you a $10 gift card to use in their store. So essentially it is a free class.

Black Bean and Corn Quesadillas- 2 servings

4 PC Blue Menu Ancient Grains Tortillas
1/4 cup PC Blue Menu Spicy Black Bean Dip
1/2 cup PC Blue Menu Peaches and Cream Canned Corn, drained
1/4 cup shredded mozzarella cheese
1 Chicken Breast (OPTIONAL- I added the chicken to make it more suitable for dinner)

1. Season and Grill or Bake Chicken, chop or shred into tiny pieces.
2. Place two tortillas flat on work surface. Divide black bean dip between them, spreading evenly. Sprinkle with corn, chicken (optional), then cheese. Place the other two tortillas on top, pressing down.
3. The recipe says to heat the Quesadillas in a frying pan, but I prefer to do it in the oven. If you are making a bunch of them it is quicker to pop them on a cookie sheet, spritz each side with canola oil cooking spray and bake all together at 350 until cheese has melted and tortillas are crisp.
