Double-Corn Quesadilla
Double-Corn Quesadilla
A quesadilla is like a grilled cheese sandwich, but instead of bread, you use tortillas. It’s a perfect after-school snack, quick lunch, or dinner when you serve it with a salad. You can make it more filling by adding your favorite beans or fresh vegetables.
- 4 6-inch corn tortillas
- 1⁄2 cup shredded cheddar, Monterey Jack, or Mexican-blend cheese
- 1⁄2 cup corn kernels, fresh, or frozen and thawed, or canned and drained
- 2 teaspoons vegetable oil
- Salsa, hot sauce, and/or plain yogurt for serving
- Put one tortilla on the large plate and sprinkle 1⁄4 cup shredded cheese over it, then add 1⁄4 cup corn kernels. Top with a second tortilla.
- Put the skillet on the stove and turn the heat to medium. When the skillet is hot, add 1 teaspoon oil.
- Carefully add the filled tortilla to the hot skillet and cook until the bottom is lightly browned and the cheese is gooey, about 2 minutes. Using the spatula, turn the tortilla over and cook another 2 minutes. Move the cooked quesadilla to the serving plate.
- Repeat with the remaining tortillas, cheese, corn, and oil. Serve right away.
