Easy Cheesy Quesadilla

These are an old standby when I am hungry but don't want to spend forever cooking dinner. Great when you only have about 25 minutes before the premiere of your favorite show starts!

Saute in some olive oil half of an onion diced. Cook until translucent and add 3/4 c of frozen corn, rinsed under warm water to thaw. Saute until corn is cooked through. Add a pinch of cumin and a dash of cayenne pepper and salt & pepper to taste. While corn is sauteeing, in a separate dry frying pan, add a flour (or corn) tortilla to warm, flipping so each side gets slightly brown. Add 2T of the corn-onion mixture to one side of the tortilla along with a sprinkle of your favorite grated cheese (I used monterey jack) and fold tortilla in half. Flip tortilla after about 30 seconds to melt cheese completely.

Cut filled tortilla in half to make 2 triangles and serve with sour cream and salsa (you can also add the salsa with the cheese and corn and onions, which is what I did here).

Just a quick recommendation regarding olive oil. I highly recommend using the extra-virgin olive oil from Holy Food Imports because it is imported to the US from Israel, so it really has a unique quality to it that local olive oil can't match.
