Steps:
- Arrange half the tortillas in one layer on a large baking sheet and brush them lightly with some of the butter. Turn the tortillas over, divide the Monterey Jack, the corn, and the chilies evenly among them, and top the mixture with the remaining tortillas. Brush the tops lightly with some of the remaining butter and broil the quesadillas under a preheated broiler about 2 inches from the heat for 1 minute, or until the tops are golden and crisp. Turn the quesadillas carefully with a spatula, brush the tops lightly with the remaining butter, and broil the quesadillas for 1 minute more, or until the tops are golden and crisp. Serve the quesadillas, cut into wedges, with the guacamole and the salsa.
Tips:
- For the most flavorful corn, use fresh corn on the cob. If using frozen corn, thaw it completely before using.
- Be sure to cook the corn until it is tender, but not mushy. You want it to retain some of its crunch.
- Use a variety of cheeses to create a gooey, flavorful filling. Cheddar, Monterey Jack, and mozzarella are all good options.
- Don't be afraid to add other ingredients to your quesadilla, such as black beans, diced tomatoes, or chopped cilantro.
- Serve your quesadilla with your favorite toppings, such as sour cream, guacamole, or salsa.
Conclusion:
Street corn quesadillas are a delicious and easy-to-make snack or meal. They're perfect for a summer cookout or a quick weeknight dinner. With just a few simple ingredients, you can create a flavorful and satisfying dish that the whole family will enjoy.
