Using a grill basket to make quesadillas not only gives the meal a subtle smoky flavor, it also makes for incredibly easy flipping — no more worrying about the ingredients spilling out or the tortilla wrinkling. Instead, the quesadilla is locked in place in a fold-over grill basket. These quesadillas are packed with two kinds of cheese, red bell pepper and corn kernels, for melty, crunchy contrast in every bite.
