Ingredients

    4 whole wheat tortillas, like Guerrero or Mission (soft taco size)
    2 ears of sweet corn on the cob
    12 basil leaves, ribboned
    1/2 cup chopped red onion
    2 cloves of garlic, chopped
    1/2 lb of heirloom tomatoes, chopped
    1/2 tsp sea salt
    pepper to taste
    4 oz shredded monterey jack cheese
    1 TBSP extra virgin olive oil

Directions

Steam the corn in a steamer bag for 4 min, or according to steamer bag directions (corn may be boiled or grilled).

In a bowl, combine the garlic, onion, and basil. Carefully remove the corn from the steamer bag, and cut the kernels off, and add to the garlic/onion/basil mixture. Stir and set aside.

In another bowl, combine the chopped tomatoes with the salt and pepper. Mix, and set aside.

In a large skillet, heat the oil over medium heat. To construct quesadillas, place a tortilla in the oil, and fry until lightly browned. Remove from heat, and sprinkle with cheese. Top the cheese with 1/4 of the corn salsa, and 1/4 of the chopped tomatoes. Fold and set on a serving platter. Repeat with remaining tortills.

Serves 4- 1 quesadilla each
