Who doesn’t love a well made quesadilla? Today we propose a vegan variant of the quesadilla, made with store-bought quesadillas: cheesy corn quesadilla. I don’t like just any wraps brand, but when I find one that I love, I make sure I have enough on hand to make wraps or quesadilla whenever I want.
This recipe is simple and yummy.

How to make the filling for the cheesy corn quesadilla

Table of Contents

We took some canned mushrooms, bell pepper, chopped tomatoes, onion, canned corn, and lots of cheese for this recipe.

Add a little oil in the pan and sauté the onion until soft. Add bell pepper, cook until soft and then add the tomatoes. Cook for another 3-4 minutes and then add corn and the condiments. Cook until all water is evaporated on a medium heat. When all the vegetables are ready and the water evaporates, add cheese and mix well. You will get a creamy consistency.

Place the tortilla in a clean pan and add the filling. For this I use my pancake pan. Fry on both sides. Take the quesadillas out of the pan, slice them, and serve them hot with your preferred sauce.

What ingredients you can use

You can add chicken or pork to this recipe. In this case, you have to cook the meat before and just add it before adding cheese. Or, you can use left-over meat and add it few minutes before adding the cheese, so it has a little time to warm up.

Don’t you just love super-simple recipes like cheesy corn quesadilla? If you want a vegan option, replace the cheese with a vegan cheese that melts.

What king of cheese should you use? I noticed that any cheese works, but I prefer the ones that are a little salty. Go for Cheddar, Monterey Jack, Gouda, Gruyere or Mozzarella.
