Ingredients

• 4 pieces Flour tortillas
• 2 cups Shredded cheese (cheddar, Monterey Jack, or a blend)
• 1 cup Sweet corn kernels (fresh, canned, or frozen)
• 0.5 cup Sun-dried tomatoes (packed in oil, drained, and chopped)
• 0.25 cup Fresh cilantro (chopped)
• 1 tablespoon Olive oil (optional, for brushing the tortillas)
• 0.25 teaspoon Salt
• 0.25 teaspoon Black pepper

Directions

Step 1

Preheat a large skillet or griddle over medium heat.

Step 2

In a mixing bowl, combine the sweet corn kernels, chopped sun-dried tomatoes, chopped cilantro, salt, and pepper. Stir to mix evenly.

Step 3

Place a tortilla on a flat surface and sprinkle 1/4 cup of shredded cheese on half of the tortilla.

Step 4

Spread 1/4 of the corn and sun-dried tomato mixture evenly over the cheese layer.

Step 5

Sprinkle another 1/4 cup of shredded cheese on top of the filling, then fold the tortilla in half to enclose the filling.

Step 6

Repeat the same process with the remaining tortillas and filling.

Step 7

Brush each folded tortilla lightly with olive oil on both sides if desired, to achieve a crispier texture.

Step 8

Place the prepared quesadilla onto the heated skillet and cook for 2-3 minutes on one side, or until golden brown and the cheese begins to melt.

Step 9

Flip the quesadilla carefully and cook for another 2-3 minutes on the other side until golden and crispy.

Step 10

Remove the quesadilla from the skillet and let it rest for 1-2 minutes before slicing it into wedges.

Step 11

Serve warm with salsa, guacamole, or sour cream on the side, if desired.
