To Assemble:

1. Preheat the oven to 375 degrees F. Transfer to a medium bowl, cover with plastic wrap, and refrigerate until ready to use.

3. Sprinkle half of the cheddar cheese and half of the Monterey Jack cheese over the tortillas.

4. Scoop the black bean and corn filling onto the tortillas in the upper-left corner of the tray. Spread the mixture so that it fills ¼ of the sheet tray.

5. Scoop the onion and pepper filling over the tortillas in the upper-right corner of the tray. Spread the mixture so that it fills another ¼ of the sheet tray.

6. Scoop the mushroom filling over the tortillas in the lower-left corner of the tray. Spread the mixture so that it fills another ¼ of the sheet tray.

7. Scoop the tofu mixture over the tortillas in the lower-right corner of the tray. Spread the mixture so that it fills the remaining ¼ of the sheet tray.

8. Sprinkle the rest of the cheese over the fillings. Place the remaining 2 tortillas over the cheese in the center of the pan. Fold the overhanging tortillas onto the pan so they cover the fillings and touch the center tortillas.

9. Place another baking sheet on top. Place an oven-proof weight, such as a cast-iron skillet, on top of the sheet tray.

10. Bake for 20 minutes. Remove the weight and top baking sheet.

11. Bake for another 15 minutes, until the tortillas are golden and crisp. Flip the quesadilla onto a cutting board.
