Instructions

  1. Step 1: Finely dice 1/2 medium red bell pepper and thinly slice 2 green onions. Heat 1 tbsp olive oil in a skillet over medium heat and sauté bell pepper, green onions, and 1/2 cup yellow corn kernels with 1/4 tsp ground cumin and 1/4 tsp salt for 3-4 minutes until softened and fragrant.
  2. Step 2: Lay 4 small flour tortillas flat and evenly sprinkle 1 cup shredded cheddar cheese on half of each tortilla.
  3. Step 3: Distribute the sautéed vegetable mixture evenly over the cheese on each tortilla, then fold each tortilla in half to create a semicircle.
  4. Step 4: Heat a clean skillet over medium heat. Cook each folded quesadilla for 2-3 minutes per side until the tortillas are golden brown and the cheese melts.
  5. Step 5: Remove from heat and let cool slightly before cutting each quesadilla into 4 bite-sized wedges.
