My vegetarian husband goes crazy over these every time! They are really cheesy, a little bit spicy, and a little bit sweet. Feel free to play around and add chicken or veggies, if you desire. Don't forget the salsa and sour cream!

Tips:

  • Choose fresh, sweet corn. Fresh corn on the cob is best for this recipe, but you can also use frozen corn kernels if you're in a pinch. Just be sure to thaw them completely before using.
  • Use a sharp knife to cut the corn kernels off the cob. This will help to ensure that the kernels are evenly sized and cooked through.
  • Don't overcrowd the pan when cooking the corn. This will help to prevent the corn from steaming instead of sautéing.
  • Season the corn with chili powder, cumin, and salt to taste. You can also add other spices, such as garlic powder, onion powder, or paprika, to taste.
  • Use a large skillet or griddle to cook the quesadillas. This will help to ensure that the quesadillas are cooked evenly and don't stick to the pan.
  • Serve the quesadillas immediately with your favorite toppings. Some popular toppings include sour cream, guacamole, salsa, and shredded cheese.
