6 ears corn, roasted
2 tablespoons unsalted butter
1 tablespoon olive oil

Divide the cheeses, chorizo and cilantro among the 4 tortillas and season with salt and pepper to taste. Stack to make two 2 layered tortillas and top with the remaining 2 tortillas. Bake for 8 to 12 minutes until golden brown and cheese has melted. Slice into sixths and serve along side soup.

This was an easy recipe and tasty. I would add a lot more cilantro and hot peppers next time, but that's my preference. I also left the skin on my potatoes. Recipe courtesy of Taste of Home and Laura Davis/Chincoteague Island, Virginia.
