    grilled 2 tablespoons roasted corn
    2 tablespoons tomato, chopped

    Preheat grill to a medium setting. Mix corn, tomatoes, green onions, cilantro, garlic, ginger, cumin, chili pepper, and salt and pepper together in medium saucepan and heat until mixture thickens slightly. You may want to add a tablespoon or two of water. Lightly spray one side of a tortilla with cooking spray. Place tortilla sprayed side down and top with half of the black beans and 1/4 cup of vegetable-spice mixture. Add half of the pepper strips and cover with 1/4 cup of the grated cheese. Place second tortilla on top to create a "sandwich." Lightly spray the second tortilla with non-stick cooking oil. Place quesadilla on grill and allow one side to brown 4 to 5 minutes. Carefully flip quesadilla and brown the other side for a few minutes. When cheese is melted through, remove quesadilla and allow to cool slightly and cut into 1/4 wedges. Serve with your favorite salsa.
