Black Bean Quesadillas with Corn Salsa

Quesadillas:
1 T. olive oil
1 1/2 tsp. bottled minced garlic
2 C. chopped plum tomatoes
1/2 C. chopped fresh cilantro
1 (15-oz.) can black beans, drained and rinsed
4 (8-inch) flour tortillas
Cooking spray
3/4 C. (3 oz.) preshredded Mexican blend cheese

Salsa:
1 C. frozen whole-kernel corn
1/2 C. chopped fresh cilantro
2 T. fresh lime juice
1/2 tsp. bottled minced garlic
1 red bell pepper, chopped

To prepare the quesadillas, preheat the broiler. Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add garlic; sauté 30 seconds. Add tomatoes, 1/2 C. cilantro, and beans; cook 5 minutes or until liquid evaporates, stirring occasionally. Place tortillas on a baking sheet coated with cooking spray. Top each tortilla with 1/2 C. bean mixture and 3 T. cheese; fold in half. Lightly coat tops with cooking spray. Broil 3 minutes or until cheese melts and tortillas begin to brown. Cut each tortilla into 3 wedges. To prepare salsa, combine corn and remaining ingredients in a small saucepan. Bring to a boil over high heat, and cook for 2 minutes, stirring frequently. Serve with quesadillas.
