How to Make Corn And Sun Dried Tomato Quesadilla

  1. In a small bowl, gently toss the corn with 1 tablespoon of olive oil.
  2. Heat a large nonstick skillet over medium-high heat. Lightly coat the pan with cooking spray.
  3. Add the oiled corn to the skillet and cook for 4 minutes, or until lightly browned, stirring occasionally.
  4. Remove the corn from the skillet and set aside in a bowl.
  5. Add the chopped red onion and sun-dried tomatoes to the skillet and sauté for 1 minute, until softened.
  6. Stir the sautéed onion and tomatoes into the cooked corn. Season with salt and pepper.
  7. Place one tortilla in the hot skillet, oiled side down.
  8. Sprinkle 2 tablespoons of cheese over the tortilla. Top with the corn and sun-dried tomato mixture.
  9. Sprinkle the remaining 2 tablespoons of cheese over the filling.
  10. Top with the second tortilla, oiled side up.
  11. Cook for 2 minutes per side, or until the cheese is melted and the tortilla is golden brown and crispy.
  12. Remove from the skillet, let cool slightly, and cut into 4 wedges.
