Step-by-Step Instructions
- Begin by heating 1 tablespoon of olive oil in a non-stick skillet over medium heat.
- Once the oil shimmers, add 1 cup of fresh corn kernels and half of a diced red onion. Sauté for about 5 minutes until the onions become translucent and the corn is tender, stirring occasionally to prevent sticking.
- Transfer the sautéed corn and onion mixture to a small bowl and set it aside.
- Return the skillet to medium heat and place a flour tortilla in it.
- Sprinkle half of your grated Cabot Alpine Cheddar cheese on one half of the tortilla.
- Layer on the sliced heirloom tomatoes followed by half of the corn and onion mixture.
- Add a handful of fresh basil leaves on top.
- Cover the tortilla and cook for 1-2 minutes until the cheese begins to melt and the edges of the tortilla turn golden brown.
- Once the cheese is melty and the tortilla is crisp, carefully fold the unfilled half over the filled side.
- Press down gently with a spatula and cook for an additional minute, allowing the quesadilla to crisp up nicely on both sides.
- Transfer the perfectly golden Summer Harvest Cheddar Quesadilla to a plate.
- Let it cool for a moment, then cut it into wedges for easy serving.
