These quesadillas are unique and filling — with a bit of a kick! If you have any leftover filling, scramble with some eggs for a Tex-Mex breakfast.

Ingredients

Original recipe (1X) yields 4 servings

  • 1 tablespoon canola oil

  • 2 andouille sausage links, finely diced

  • 1 poblano chile, finely diced

  • ½ red bell pepper, finely diced

  • ½ large red onion, finely diced

  • ½ cup frozen corn kernels

  • 4 flour tortillas

  • 2 cups shredded Colby cheese

  • 1 tablespoon canola oil

  • ¼ cup sour cream (Optional)

  • ¼ cup salsa (Optional)

Directions

  1. Heat 1 tablespoon of canola oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Stir in the diced sausage, poblano pepper, red pepper, red onion, and corn. Cook until soft, about 15 minutes.

  2. Spoon 1/4 of the sausage mixture on one half of each tortilla; top each with 1/2 cup cheese. Fold over tortillas to make a half moon shapes. Repeat with remaining ingredients.

  3. Heat the remaining 1 tablespoon of canola oil in large skillet over medium heat. Cook quesadillas until the cheese is melted and the tortilla is brown and crispy, about 5 minutes per side. Cut each quesadilla into 4 wedges, and top with sour cream and salsa, if desired.

Editor's Note:

This recipe appeared in Allrecipes Magazine and was modified to use sharp Cheddar cheese in place of Colby cheese.
