Main Ingredients

Method

Preparation

  1. 1

    Prepare the Ingredients

    Gather all ingredients and prepare them. Rinse and drain the black beans, chop the lettuce, slice the jalapenos, and if using frozen corn, thaw it.

Cooking

  1. 2

    Assemble the Quesadilla

    On one half of each flour tortilla, layer ghost pepper cheese, pico de gallo, corn, black beans, jalapenos, and shredded lettuce.

  2. 3

    Fold and Cook

    Fold the tortilla over the filling to create a half-moon shape. Heat a non-stick skillet or griddle over medium heat. Place the quesadilla on the skillet and cook for about 3-4 minutes on each side, or until the tortilla is golden brown and the cheese has melted.

  3. 4

    Serve

    Remove the quesadilla from the skillet, let it rest for a minute, and then cut into wedges. Serve with guacamole and sour cream on the side.
