Notes
When using canned or frozen corn, make sure to drain and pat dry the corn kernels before adding them to the quesadillas. This will help prevent the quesadillas from becoming too watery.
Feel free to customize your quesadillas with additional ingredients such as sliced jalapeños, diced tomatoes, or chopped fresh herbs like cilantro or parsley.
For a crispy and golden-brown quesadilla, you can brush the tortillas with a little bit of oil or melted butter before cooking them.
To keep the quesadillas warm while cooking in batches, you can place them on a baking sheet in a preheated oven set to low heat.
Don't overcrowd the pan when cooking the quesadillas, as this can make flipping them difficult. Cook them in batches if needed.
Experiment with different salsa varieties to find your favorite flavor combination. From mild to spicy, there are plenty of options to choose from.
Serve the quesadillas as a main dish, or cut them into smaller wedges for appetizers or party snacks.
