Poblano Corn Quesadillas

Author: Gaby

Ingredients

  • 1 teaspoons vegetable oil plus more as needed
  • 2 small fresh poblano chiles thinly sliced
  • ½ yellow onion thinly sliced
  • 2 corn on the cob kernels removed
  • 1 lime halved
  • kosher salt and freshly cracked black pepper
  • 3 cups grated Monterey Jack cheese
  • 4 6- inch Old El Paso Tortillas

To garnish / serve

  • Salsa
  • Guacamole
  • Fresh Cilantro

Instructions

  • Heat the oil in a large cast iron skillet over medium-high heat. Add the poblano and onion to the skillet and cook, stirring frequently, until soft and lightly browned, 3 to 5 minutes. Season with salt and pepper and add the corn. Stir to combine, remove from heat and squeeze half a lime over the mixture.
  • Transfer to a plate and wipe the skillet clean.
  • Heat 1/2 teaspoon of the oil in the skillet over medium-high heat until hot. Add one tortilla and scatter over it a quarter of the cheese, and a quarter of the poblano mixture. When the tortilla turns just golden brown in spots, in 1 or 2 minutes, fold it in half, pressing it with a spatula to flatten it. Fold it in half again and then transfer to a baking sheet in the oven to keep warm. Repeat with the remaining ingredients to make three more quesadillas. Serve the folded quesadillas with salsa and guacamole and fresh cilantro
