Mushroom & black bean quesadilla

I need to write this recipe down so I don't forget it. I just made it up and it's delicious.
Thought this would be a good place to do it, instead of a scrap of paper. This way other people can see it if they're interested.

I made this up as I went along, so there's nothing scientific about quantities used.

6 flour tortillas
1 cup brown rice to serve
Soured cream
Grated mature cheddar cheese
A small piece of hard cheese (eg Parmesan or veggie equivalent)
1 small onion - finely chopped
2 cloves garlic - finely chopped
1/2 orange pepper - chopped
1 hot chilli pepper - finely chopped
4-5 mushrooms - chopped
1 can black beans - drained

Put the brown rice on to boil for 30 minutes.

Preheat oven to around 200 C.
Fry the onion, garlic, chilli and orange pepper in a little olive oil for about 5 minutes.
Add the chopped mushrooms and cook for a few minutes.
Add the black beans and cook for about 5 minutes.
Add the crumbled hard cheese and stir in, with a generous dollop of soured cream.

Divide the mixture between the tortillas - only covering a quarter of the tortilla. Add some soured cream and grated cheddar.
Fold the tortilla in half, then in half again, to make a triangle.
Arrange in an ovenproof dish, scatter with grated cheddar and cook in the oven for 10 minutes.

Serve with brown rice and soured cream.

I would add a photo of the finished product - but I ate it....
