Ready In
- Preheat oven to 400°F. Line a baking sheet with foil.
- Combine refried beans and 2 tablespoons salsa in a small bowl.
- Place a tortilla directly on a stovetop burner (gas or electric), set at medium, and toast, turning frequently with tongs, until softened, about 30 seconds. Wrap in a kitchen towel to keep warm while you soften the remaining tortillas in the same manner.
- Lay 6 of the softened tortillas on the prepared baking sheet. Divide the bean mixture among these tortillas, spreading evenly. Sprinkle each with corn, cilantro and scallions, then cheese. Top with the remaining softened tortillas and press to seal.
- Bake until lightly crisped and browned, about 10 minutes. Cut each quesadilla into 4 wedges. Serve hot, with additional salsa for dipping.

Much better with some changes. Use beans with green chilies in them and use extra salsa in the mixture. Cook corn on the stovetop with a little bit of oil and garlic until brown before adding into the quesidilla. Add red chillis in with the cheese mixture. I used light nacho cheese this time but I think i'll uses Jalapano Jack next round. It was great with a bit of avacado and light sour cream on top.
