# Method:
01 - Preheat the oven to 425°F. Line a large rimmed sheet pan (approximately 18x13 inches) with parchment paper or lightly grease it.
02 - In a large skillet over medium heat, cook ground beef until browned, about 5 minutes. Drain excess fat if necessary.
03 - Add diced onion, minced garlic, and diced red bell pepper to the skillet. Cook for 3 to 4 minutes until softened.
04 - Stir in taco seasoning and water. Simmer for 2 to 3 minutes until the mixture thickens. Remove from heat.
05 - Add thawed corn, drained black beans, and sliced green onions to the skillet. Stir well to combine.
06 - Arrange 6 tortillas overlapping around the edges of the prepared sheet pan, allowing half of each tortilla to hang over the sides and centers to overlap, covering the base. Place one tortilla in the center to cover gaps.
07 - Spread the beef and vegetable mixture evenly over the tortillas. Sprinkle shredded cheddar and Monterey Jack cheese on top.
08 - Fold the overhanging edges of the tortillas toward the center, covering the filling. If necessary, place the last tortilla in the center to seal the filling.
09 - Brush the top surface with olive oil or lightly coat with cooking spray.
10 - Place a second sheet pan on top to weight down the quesadillas. Bake for 15 minutes, remove the top pan, then bake an additional 5 minutes until golden and crisp.
11 - Allow to cool for 5 minutes before slicing into squares. Serve optionally with salsa, sour cream, chopped cilantro, and lime wedges.
