Instructions

  1. Step 1: Heat 1 tsp olive oil in a non-stick skillet over medium-low. Spread 1/4 cup shredded cheese evenly over one side of a tortilla, then layer with 1/4 cup mixed diced bell peppers and 1/4 cup corn.
  2. Step 2: Fold tortilla in half, pressing gently. Cook for 2-3 minutes per side until golden brown and cheese melts, using a spatula to press the edges firmly.
  3. Step 3: Repeat with remaining tortillas and fillings. Sprinkle with 1/4 tsp cumin while cooking for extra flavor.
  4. Step 4: Cut each quesadilla into 4 wedges and serve immediately with lime wedges on the side for a bright, tangy finish that kids love.
