Time 30m

Yield 4

Number Of Ingredients 15

1 ½ teaspoons olive oil
¼ cup chopped onion
½ red bell pepper, finely chopped
¼ cup frozen corn kernels, thawed
1 serrano chile pepper, seeded and diced
1 clove garlic, minced
1 (15 ounce) can HORMEL® Mary Kitchen® Roast Beef Hash
1 canned chipotle chile in adobo sauce, minced, or more to taste
3 tablespoons vegetable oil for frying, or as needed
8 corn tortillas
1 cup shredded mozzarella cheese
¼ cup chopped onion
¼ cup chopped fresh cilantro
1 cup salsa
½ cup sour cream

Steps:

  • Heat a skillet over medium heat. Add olive oil. Cook and stir onions and red bell pepper until starting to soften, about 3 minutes. Add corn and serrano pepper; cook 2 to 3 minutes. Add garlic and cook 1 minute more.
  • Reduce heat to medium-low. Add HORMEL® MARY KITCHEN® Roast Beef Hash and chipotle pepper. Cook until the hash is heated and well mixed with the rest of the ingredients, about 2 or 3 minutes.
  • Heat tortillas in a skillet, turning once, until they are soft and can be folded without breaking.
  • Heat vegetable oil in a skillet over medium heat.
  • Spoon 2 tablespoons of the hash filling and 1 1/2 tablespoons of mozzarella cheese on each tortilla. Fold tortillas in half. Fry in vegetable oil until quesadillas are golden and crispy, about 3 minutes on each side. Transfer to a paper towel-lined plate.
  • Mix cilantro and onions together in a small bowl.
  • Serve the quesadillas with salsa, sour cream, onions, and cilantro. Enjoy!

These were so good! I made them for dinner last night and my family loved them. The filling was cheesy and flavorful and the tortillas were crispy. I will definitely be making these again.

These quesadillas were amazing! The filling was flavorful and cheesy, and the tortillas were crispy and golden brown. I added some avocado and salsa, and it was the perfect meal. Will definitely be making these again.
