Instructions
Make Bean and Corn mix
- Heat 2 tbsp of oil in a heavy bottom skillet, I like using cast iron skillet.
- Once warm, saute minced garlic and finely chopped fresh hot red pepper.
- Keep sautéing until raw smell of garlic disappears, do not brown the garlic.
- Add chopped onions and saute for couple of minutes.
- Add chopped peppers and saute for 3-4 minutes.
- Add corn kernel and saute on medium/high heat till the corn kernels are charred.
- Add washed and drained canned black beans. Mix well
- Add all the spices listed above and mix well. Turn the heat off.
- Once cooled down a little, add harrisa and sour cream. Mix well.
- Add chopped scallions and cilantro. Mix well.
Assemble Quesadilla
- Mix cream cheese and 2 tsp of harrisa, keep it on side.
- Make a cut on tortilla, just half way through.
- Spread cubed avocado on one quarter of the tortilla.
- Spread bean and corn mix on second quarter of the tortilla.
- Spread spicy harrisa cream cheese on third quarter of the tortilla. Top that with some cheetos.
- Place decent amount of shredded Mexican blend cheese on the last quarter of the tortilla.
- Now start folding one quarter at a time, stacking it on the next one.
- This wrap folding tech is one that went viral on social media. I am just adopting it, you can certainly fold them any way you like with all the fixings inside!
- Make prepared/folded quesadilla crispy on a skillet using some oil.
- Serve them hot with choice of sides!
