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.

Steps:
- Prepare a grill for medium heat. Toss the Cheddar, pepper jack, corn, cumin, garlic, bell pepper, 1/4 teaspoon salt and a few grinds of black pepper together in a medium bowl.
- Place 1 of the tortillas inside a 12-inch flat round fold-over quesadilla grill basket. Sprinkle the cheese mixture on top, leaving a 1/4-inch border around the edge. Top with the remaining tortilla, then close and clasp the grill basket according to the manufacturer's directions.
- Place the grill basket onto the grill, cover the grill and cook until the cheese just begins to melt and the tortilla is turning golden brown on the bottom side, 2 to 3 minutes, Flip the basket and continue cooking until the cheese is completely melted and the tortilla is golden brown, 2 to 3 minutes more.
- Transfer the quesadilla to a cutting board and cut into 8 pieces. Serve with the guacamole and sour cream.
