Method

1

Prepare your protein: cook and dice/shred chicken, ground meat, or beans; warm any pre-cooked proteins if cold.

2

Dice or slice all vegetables (bell pepper, onion, tomato, etc.) into bite-sized pieces. Chop fresh herbs if using.

3

Heat cooking oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat until shimmering.

4

Place one tortilla in the hot skillet and warm for 30 seconds, then add half the shredded cheese to one half of the tortilla.

5

Layer the cooked protein, diced vegetables, corn, and remaining cheese over the cheese on the tortilla. Season with cumin or your chosen spice blend.

6

Fold the empty half of the tortilla over the filling, pressing gently. Cook for 2–3 minutes until the bottom is golden and crispy.

7

Carefully flip and cook the other side for another 2–3 minutes until golden brown and cheese is fully melted. Transfer to a cutting board.

8

Repeat with the remaining tortilla and filling. Slice each quesadilla into triangles.

9

Serve hot, garnished with fresh cilantro, and accompany with salsa roja, guacamole, and sour cream on the side.
