Black Bean and Corn Dillas


This recipe was from a friend, I believe it came orginally from allrecipes.com

INGREDIENTS


2 teaspoons olive oil

3 tablespoons finely chopped onion

1 (15.5 ounce) can black beans, drained and rinsed   * I used dry beans

1 (10 ounce) can whole kernel corn, drained   * I used left over fresh corn

1 tablespoon brown sugar

1/4 cup salsa

1/4 teaspoon red pepper flakes

2 tablespoons butter, divided

8 (8 inch) flour tortillas

1 1/2 cups shredded Monterey Jack cheese, divided
DIRECTIONS

Heat oil in a large saucepan over medium heat. Stir in onion, and cook until softened, about 2 minutes. Stir in beans and corn, then add sugar, salsa, and pepper flakes; mix well. Cook until heated through, about 3 minutes.

Melt 2 teaspoons of the butter in a large skillet over medium heat. Place a tortilla in the skillet, sprinkle evenly with cheese, then top with some of the bean mixture. Place another tortilla on top, cook until golden, then flip and cook on the other side. Repeat with remaining tortillas and filling.

Note: Can use this as soft-shell tacos instead.
