  • Use a variety of fillings: In addition to corn, you can also add other fillings to your quesadillas, such as cheese, beans, vegetables, or meat. Get creative and experiment with different flavor combinations.
  • Use a good quality tortilla: The tortilla is the foundation of your quesadilla, so it's important to use a good quality one. Look for tortillas that are fresh and pliable.
  • Cook the quesadillas until they are golden brown and crispy: Cook the quesadillas in a hot skillet until they are golden brown and crispy. This will help to seal in the fillings and prevent them from falling out.
