In trying to figure out the name, these are my thoughts:
1.  I thought of the phrase "everything but the kitchen sink"--but there really isn't that much stuff in these quesadillas
2.  Maybe because you empty cans of stuff and drain them in the sink before preparing the quesadillas?
I seriously have no clue, but they were good and the Mexican side salad was a nice change (I added tomatoes and cucumbers).
I loved this because all the quesadillas were baked, not fried with butter, and they were all done at once!

1 15.5-ounce can black beans, drained 
1 11-ounce can corn kernels, drained 
3/4 cup salsa, drained 
1 8-count package large flour tortillas 
1 1/2 cups (6 ounces) shredded Cheddar or Monterey Jack 
1 small red onion, thinly sliced 
1/3 cup fresh cilantro leaves 
1/2 teaspoon kosher salt 
1/4 teaspoon black pepper 
Juice of 1 to 2 limes 
2 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil 
1 head romaine lettuce, sliced 1 inch thick
Heat oven to 400° F. 
In a medium bowl, combine the beans, corn, and salsa. 
Place 4 tortillas on a parchment- or foil-lined baking sheet. 
Sprinkle with half the cheese. 
Using a slotted spoon, transfer the black bean mixture on top of the cheese. 
Sprinkle with the remaining cheese and sandwich with the remaining tortillas. 
Bake until the cheese has melted, 5 to 7 minutes. 
Meanwhile, in a large bowl, combine the onion, cilantro, salt, pepper, lime juice, and oil. 
Add the lettuce and toss. 
Transfer the quesadillas to a cutting board. Cut each into 6 wedges. 
Serve with the salad.
