Snack: Sweet Corn and Cheddar Quesadillas

Ingredients

1 tablespoon extra-virgin olive oil
2 ears of fresh corn, shucked
Kosher or sea salt, to taste
Fresh cracked black pepper to taste
Eight 8-inch flour tortillas
6-ounces cheddar cheese, grated

Instructions

Heat a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add the oil and then stir in the corn. Cook for 2 to 3 minutes or until corn is tender. Season with salt and pepper. Set aside to cool.
Spread half of the cheese on top of 4 tortillas. Top with the corn. Add a final layer of cheese and gently spread the filling evenly around each tortilla. Top with the remaining tortillas.
Heat a large skillet or griddle over medium-high heat. Place a filled tortilla on the pan, and cook the tortilla for about 3 minutes or until the bottom is golden. Carefully flip the quesadilla and cook for another 2 to 3 minutes until the second side is golden and the cheese is completely melted.
Remove from the pan and repeat with the remaining quesadillas. Allow each to cool for a few minutes before cutting into 4 to 6 pieces.
