Tips:

For the best flavor, use fresh corn and crab meat.
If you don't have fresh corn, you can use frozen or canned corn, but be sure to drain it well.
For a spicier quesadilla, add a pinch of cayenne pepper or chili powder to the corn and crab mixture.

Serve the quesadillas with your favorite toppings, such as salsa, sour cream, or guacamole.
