Ingredients

1/4 cup chipotle peppers in adobo sauce, minced
1/2 lime, juiced
1 cup sour cream
3 ears white corn on the cob
2 tablespoons olive oil
1 jalapeno, seeded and minced
1/4 red onion, diced
1/2 cup black beans
2 Roma tomatoes, diced
2 tablespoons diced roasted red bell peppers
1/2 teaspoon sea salt
1/2 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
1/2 teaspoon ground cumin
6 tablespoons freshly chopped cilantro leaves, divided
6 ounces Jack cheese, shredded
6 ounces Cheddar, shredded
8 medium flour tortillas
5 tablespoons, sliced scallions

Directions

Preheat grill to high. Preheat oven to 375 degrees F.

Mix diced chipotle, lime juice and sour cream, and refrigerate for 1 hour.

Over medium flame or on a grill pan, roast corn. Let cool and cut kernels off cob.

In a medium saute pan over medium-high heat, add olive oil, jalapenos, red onions, and black beans. Saute until the onions are translucent. Add the tomatoes, corn kernels and roasted bell pepper. Stir and saute for 3 minutes and add salt, pepper, cumin and 3 tablespoons of cilantro. Remove the pan from heat and let rest.

Evenly distribute mixture, the remaining cilantro and cheeses among 4 tortillas. Top with remaining tortillas.

Place tortillas on a baking sheet and place in the oven. Cook for about 10 minutes, until cheeses have melted and the quesadillas are warmed through. Cut each into 6 pieces.

Serve with chipotle sour cream garnished with scallions.

Huge success!
Rated: 5 stars out of 5

I have made this at home many times but I just recently made a large batch for my coworkers and they went nuts about it! ... Everyone was asking me where I got the recipe. I love the smokey sour cream! I normally eat a little salsa with mine as well.Read more

Huge hit and Easy to Make
Rated: 5 stars out of 5

This was a huge hit at dinner parties. My friends have requested it several times. Now, I do think that the sour cream is... incredibly spicy (I am a bit of a wimp so I used sparingly - you could also cut down on the chipotles if you are like me) BUT my friends, that can handle the heat, loved the sour cream.

Very good and easy to make
Rated: 4 stars out of 5

I used a mini food processor to chop everything, which really cut down on prep time. I found that the tortillas didn't crisp... very well in the oven and therefore were a bit soggy and a mess to eat. Next time, I will fry them instead of cooking in the oven.Read more

Absolutely fabulous
Rated: 5 stars out of 5

Delicious flavor and easy, surprised it was listed as intermediate. Had friends over and they RAVED. I was also amazed by... the sauce, it was terrific. If you don't like spicy, don't make the sauce, it's hot. But the spicier the better for me so I will be making the sauce again, it goes so well with the quesadillas. Man, my mouth is watering just thinking about these! LOVED THEM! Read more
