Categories     main-dish

Time 20m

Yield 1 to 2 servings

Number Of Ingredients 12

1/4 cup mayonnaise
2 large flour tortillas
1 cup shredded Monterey Jack cheese
1 cup frozen roasted corn, thawed
1/2 cup crumbled Cojita
1/2 small avocado, diced
2 tablespoons chopped jarred jalapenos
2 tablespoons chopped fresh cilantro
1 teaspoon ancho chile powder
1/4 cup jarred salsa, for serving
1/4 cup jarred salsa verde, for serving
Tortilla chips, for serving

Steps:

  • Place a skillet over medium heat.
  • Spread half of the mayonnaise on one of the tortillas and place in the hot skillet mayonnaise-side down.
  • Top with half of the Monterey Jack. Add the corn, Cojita, avocado, jalapenos and cilantro. Sprinkle over the ancho chile powder and remaining Monterey Jack.
  • Spread the remaining mayonnaise on the other tortilla, then place on top mayonnaise-side up, and press. Cook until the bottom tortilla is golden and crisp, 2 to 3 minutes, then flip the quesadilla and cook until the second side is golden, an additional 2 to 3 minutes.
  • Transfer the quesadilla to a cutting board and slice. Serve with the salsas and tortilla chips.

Tips:

  • Use fresh corn: Fresh corn has a sweeter flavor and a more tender texture than frozen or canned corn.
  • Don't overcook the corn: Overcooked corn will be tough and chewy. Cook the corn just until it is tender, about 5 minutes.
  • Use a variety of cheeses: A blend of different cheeses will give the quesadillas a more complex flavor. Try using a combination of cheddar, mozzarella, and Monterey Jack.
  • Add other vegetables: Feel free to add other vegetables to the quesadillas, such as diced tomatoes, bell peppers, or onions.
  • Serve the quesadillas with your favorite toppings: Some popular toppings for quesadillas include sour cream, guacamole, salsa, and pico de gallo.

Conclusion:

Confetti corn quesadillas are a delicious and easy-to-make meal that can be enjoyed for breakfast, lunch, or dinner. They are also a great way to use up leftover corn. So next time you have some fresh corn on hand, give this recipe a try. You won't be disappointed!
