Ingredients

In a colander, drain and rinse black beans. Rinse zucchini and shred with a grater.
Rinse and chop fresh spinach. If using fresh parsley or cilantro, rinse and chop.
If using fresh corn, peel. Use a knife to cut corn kernels off of the cob.
In a large skillet over medium-high heat, heat oil. Add zucchini and cook until zucchini is semi-soft, about 5 minutes. Add corn and spinach. Cover and cook until tender, stirring a few times, about 5 minutes more. Remove from heat.
Add black beans to the veggie mixture. Stir to combine. Smash beans lightly with a fork. Add 1-2 teaspoons of water to make a bean-and-veggie paste. If using parsley or cilantro, add now. Transfer mixture to a medium bowl. Reserve skillet.
Spread vegetable mixture evenly on half of each tortilla. Sprinkle with 2 tablespoons cheddar cheese. Fold tortillas over. Press lightly with a spatula to flatten.
Spray the skillet lightly with cooking oil spray. Heat over medium-high heat. Add one folded tortilla. Cook about 4 minutes per side, or until both sides of the tortilla are golden brown. Repeat until all the quesadillas are cooked.
