About this recipe

A cheese and corn quesadilla is a warm snack made with flour tortillas, melted cheese, yogurt, and sweet corn. The corn adds juiciness and mild sweetness, while the melted cheese binds the filling and creates a soft, stretchy center. A thin layer of yogurt helps keep the filling in place and mellows the paprika. Cook the quesadilla in a dry skillet until the tortillas are golden and the cheese has melted completely. It makes a quick meatless snack, a simple dinner, or a warm dish served in wedges.

Ingredients

Servings
Base: 2
  • 2 flour tortillas

  • 120 g cheese

  • 4 tablespoons corn

  • 1 tablespoon yogurt

  • a pinch of paprika

Steps

  1. Grate or finely chop the cheese so it melts easily.

  2. Mix the yogurt with the paprika and spread a thin layer over one tortilla. Scatter over the cheese and drained corn, leaving a small border, then cover with the second tortilla and press lightly.

  3. Heat a dry frying pan over medium heat. Cook the quesadilla for 3–4 minutes per side, until the tortilla is golden and the cheese has melted. Turn with a wide spatula, supporting the quesadilla; lower the heat if it browns before the cheese melts.

  4. Transfer to a board, cut into wedges and serve warm.
