Instructions

  1. Step 1: In a medium bowl, mix 1/2 cup diced red bell pepper, 1/2 cup diced yellow bell pepper, 1/2 cup thawed corn kernels, 1/2 tsp ground cumin, 1/4 tsp salt, and 1/4 tsp black pepper until evenly combined.
  2. Step 2: Lay 3 small flour tortillas flat on a clean surface. Evenly sprinkle 1 1/2 cups shredded cheddar cheese over the tortillas, then distribute the veggie mixture on top of the cheese, dividing evenly.
  3. Step 3: Top each with the remaining 3 tortillas, pressing gently to seal.
  4. Step 4: Heat 2 tbsp olive oil in a large nonstick skillet over medium heat. Carefully place one quesadilla in the pan and cook for 3-4 minutes until the bottom is golden brown and crispy.
  5. Step 5: Flip the quesadilla carefully and cook the other side for another 3-4 minutes until golden and the cheese is melted inside.
  6. Step 6: Remove from pan, let cool for 1 minute, then cut each quesadilla into 4 wedges. Repeat with remaining quesadillas.
