We love this recipe at my house. It's easy to make and a fun way to change up the week.
Tip: the chipotle-lime sour cream is definitely worth making. We eat the leftover sour cream (if there is any! with potato wedges seasoned with salt, cracked black pepper, and chili powder.

This is the treat that our friends always ask us to bring when we go to a party. Have made it many times over and it's always a hit. We have a quesadilla press so don't put them in the oven...and they always come out perfect. Roasted some corn this summer and put in the freezer. Defrosted the corn and made them for a for New Years Eve party....had to wring out some of the extra water, but the corn still had tons of flavor! This is my go to app recipe to bring anywhere!
