Corn, Black Bean, and Cheese Quesadillas

I prefer white corn for this recipe but yellow was what was available.  My kids still thought these were great.  I already posted my "famous" quesadilla recipe but I thought you should know that this is the combination everyone goes crazy over.  The corn is not cooked but rather raw, fresh, just cut off the cob!  If you haven't tried my quesadillas yet or even if you have --please try this variation, you will love it!

Corn, Black Bean, and Cheese Quesadillas

Kernels from 2 ears of corn, (shucked, rinsed under cold water, dried, kernels cut off cob)
1 15 oz can organic black beans, (drained, rinsed and dried with paper towel)
8 oz. monteray jack cheese, shredded
12 flour quesadillas
about 4 tablespoons unsalted butter
Please see my quesadilla post for my favorite flour tortillas and black beans!



Hold corn at tip use sawing motion with your knife to cut kernels off cob.
