# Directions:
01 - Preheat the oven to 425°F and line a large rimmed sheet pan with parchment paper or lightly grease it.
02 - In a large skillet over medium heat, cook the ground beef until browned, about 5 minutes, then drain excess fat if necessary.
03 - Add diced onion, minced garlic, and red bell pepper to the skillet and cook for 3 to 4 minutes until softened.
04 - Stir in the taco seasoning and water, simmering for 2 to 3 minutes until thickened, then remove from heat.
05 - Mix in the thawed corn, black beans, and sliced green onions into the beef mixture until evenly incorporated.
06 - Place six tortillas overlapping around the edges of the sheet pan, allowing halves to hang over the edge and centers to overlap, then cover gaps with one tortilla in the center.
07 - Spread the beef and vegetable mixture evenly over the arranged tortillas, then sprinkle the shredded cheddar and Monterey Jack cheeses on top.
08 - Fold the overhanging tortilla edges toward the center to cover the filling, placing the final tortilla in the center if needed to seal the assembly.
09 - Brush the top with olive oil or spray lightly with cooking spray, then place a second sheet pan on top to weigh down the quesadillas.
10 - Bake the weighed-down quesadillas for 15 minutes, then remove the top pan and bake an additional 5 minutes until golden and crispy.
11 - Allow to cool for 5 minutes before slicing into squares and serving with optional salsa, sour cream, cilantro, and lime wedges.
