A Pillsbury recipe. Very good indeed. I used corn right off the cob, green onions from the garden and added the sour cream to the filling before I made the quesadilla. I did use just a little more cumin and chill powder than called for but I like those two flavors together. I also spray the outside of my quesadillas with cooking spray so they get nice and crispy.

Very, Very good, if you can find the sundried tomato tortillas, they add a wonderful taste, as compared to the plain ones. We pass the salsa also, with the sour cream. More heat can be added if desired and the recipe can be scaled down to one or two.
