A corn quesadilla is one of those foods you could probably eat two to three times a week for the rest of your life without growing tired of it. And this corn quesadilla recipe is one that just may prove the point. Cheesy, savory and all-around delicious, it will be loved by kids and adults alike, and it\u2019s easy to follow.<\/p>\n
Perhaps best of all, corn quesadilla recipes like this one just beg to be dressed up and customized however you like. We’ll share some ideas on how to do that later, but for now, let\u2019s talk about the ingredients, a great starting point for making even the most surprising quesadilla recipes<\/a>.<\/p>\n Place the cheese, corn, green onions, cilantro, sour cream and peppers in a large bowl, and toss to combine them.<\/p>\n Lightly brush the tops of two tortillas with 1\/2 teaspoon of the oil, then turn those over. Top the tortillas with the cheese mixture and the remaining tortillas, then brush the tops with the remaining oil.<\/p>\n Place a large nonstick skillet over medium heat. In two batches, cook the quesadillas for one to two minutes on each side, or until they’re golden brown and the cheese is melted. Cut each quesadilla into six wedges, and serve them with guacamole, if desired.<\/p>\n Wrap the quesadillas in foil, or put them in an airtight container, and store them in the fridge for up to three days. They can be reheated in the microwave or in a pan.<\/p>\n Yes, you can store cooked quesadillas in the freezer for up to six months. Make sure they’re fully cooled, then tightly wrapped, before you freeze them.<\/p>\n Mexican rice<\/a>, a side of beans and some seared steak<\/a> or roast chicken would make a divine meal.<\/p>\n Adobo sauce is a savory and tangy condiment made from chili powder, vinegar, sugar, garlic and other herbs.<\/p>\n If the tortillas brown up too much before the cheese has time to melt, you’re probably cooking over too high a heat. Reduce the flame, and things should be fine.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" Corn quesadillas are a surefire hit on their own, and they pair well with a variety of Mexican-themed dishes.
