Drain @corn{1%cup} and pat dry with paper towels. Melt 1 tbsp @butter{2%tbsp} in a #large pan{} over high heat. Add corn and season with 1 tsp @southwest spice blend{1%tsp} and ½ tsp @salt{1%tsp}. Cook, stirring occasionally, until charred ~{5%minutes}. (Cover pan if corn begins to pop!) Taste and season with @black pepper{1%tsp}. Turn off heat; transfer to a #medium bowl{} and set aside. Wipe out pan.

While corn chars, place @refried black beans{15%oz} in a second #medium bowl{}. Stir in 1 tsp @mexican spice blend{1%tsp} and 1 tbsp @water{2%tbsp}. Microwave ~{2%minutes}; stir to combine. Taste and season with salt and pepper if desired.

Place @flour tortillas{4%unit} on a clean work surface. Evenly spread half the refried bean mixture over each tortilla. Evenly top one half of each tortilla with half the @mexican cheese blend{1%cup}. Top with half the corn, then sprinkle with remaining cheese. (You may have some extra beans and corn—serve on the side!) Fold each tortilla in half to create quesadillas.

Heat a drizzle of @cooking oil{1%tbsp} in pan used for corn over medium-high heat. Add quesadillas; cook until tortillas are golden brown and cheese melts ~{3%minutes} per side. (Depending on the size of your pan, you may need to work in batches.)

While quesadillas cook, in a #small bowl{}, combine @guacamole{½%cup} and @sour cream{2%tbsp}. Taste and season with salt and pepper if desired.

Cut quesadillas into wedges and divide between plates. Serve with creamy guac and @smoky red pepper crema{2%tbsp} on the side for dipping.
