Ingredients

  • 4 flour tortillas (burrito size)
  • 2 zucchini
  • 10 oz frozen sweet corn
  • 8 oz shredded monterey jack
  • 1 yellow onions
  • 1 1/2 tsp ground cumin
  • 2 tbsp extra virgin olive oil
  • 8 oz jarred salsa
  • 1 1/2 tsp kosher salt
  • 1/2 cup sour cream(optional)

Method

  1. Dice the zucchini and onion small.

  2. Heat the oil in a skillet over high and cook the zucchini, onion, and corn 8 minutes without stirring much, so they char in spots. Season with cumin and salt and scrape into a bowl.

  3. Wipe the pan. Lay a tortilla in it, cover half with cheese and a quarter of the vegetables, then more cheese, and fold over.

  4. Cook over medium 2 to 3 minutes per side until crisp and fully melted. Repeat with the rest.

  5. Cut each quesadilla into wedges and serve with salsa and sour cream.
