I am happy to report, this is a tasty, very flavorful new way to do a quesadilla! To keep Vegetarian, use meat-less “strips” but this would be a great recipe to add chicken to if you prefer. You also can just keep it plain (it is fantastic too)- or try tofu, tempeh, or seitan. I like using corn tortillas rather than flour.
I highly recommend browning the corn because it will caramelize and deepen the taste of the dish. I serve this with black beans and rice. Enjoy!

1 cup fresh corn kernels
2/3 cup goat cheese, softened, secret ingredient
chicken strips, meat-less strips, tofu, tempeh, or seitan all work!, cooked-(optional)
8 corn tortillas

Drizzle with just a spoonful of salsa verde and then top with remaining tortilla.
