Ingredients
  

Base
  • 4 burrito-size flour tortillas
  • 2 tbsp butter
Vegetables
  • 2 poblano peppers
  • 2 frozen sweet corn on the cob or 1½ cups frozen loose sweet corn
  • Salt for boiling corn on the cob
Cheese
  • 1 cup shredded Oaxaca cheese
  • 1 cup shredded Monterey Jack cheese

Equipment

  • 1 Griddle or Skillet
  • 1 Spatula
  • 1 Wooden Cutting Board
  • 1 Knife

Method
 

  1. Roast poblano peppers in the oven at 400°F for 25 minutes, flipping halfway through. Let cool, then peel skins, remove stems and seeds, and slice into strips.
  2. For corn on the cob: Boil in lightly salted water until tender. Drain, then char on a grill pan or skillet until golden. Slice kernels from the cob.
  3. For loose frozen corn: Sauté in a skillet until lightly browned.
  4. Shred Oaxaca and Monterey Jack cheese. Mix together.
  5. Heat skillet or griddle over medium heat. Lay a tortilla directly on the hot surface and spread a thin layer of butter on the top side. Flip tortilla so buttered side is down.
  6. On one half of the tortilla, add ½ poblano pepper, a spoonful of corn kernels, and ½ cup of the cheese mixture. Fold tortilla in half and press gently.
  7. Cook until bottom is golden and cheese begins to melt, about 2–3 minutes. Flip and cook the other side until golden brown and crisp. Repeat with remaining tortillas.
  8. Cut quesadillas into triangles and serve hot.
