Ingredients
- 4 tablespoons olive oil 1 onion, coarsely chopped Salt 4 cloves garlic, minced 2 medium zucchini (about 1 pound), halved lengthwise and thinly sliced crosswise 1 cup frozen corn kernels (4 ounces) 1/4 cup chopped fresh cilantro (optional) 4 (8-inch) flour tortillas 2 cups grated pepper jack cheese
Directions
Preheat oven to 400 degrees. In a large skillet, heat 3 tablespoons oil over medium heat. Add onion and 1 teaspoon salt; cook, stirring occasionally, until onion is soft, about 5 minutes. Stir in garlic; cook 1 minute more.
Add zucchini and frozen corn kernels; cook, stirring occasionally, until zucchini is soft and corn is tender, about 6 minutes. Remove from heat; stir in cilantro, if using.
Brush one side of all tortillas with remaining tablespoon oil; lay 2 tortillas, oiled side down, on a baking sheet. Place half of the filling on each, and sprinkle with half the cheese. Place remaining 2 tortillas on top, oiled side up; press down gently with a spatula to seal.
Bake until cheese has melted and tortillas are golden brown, turning once, about 10 minutes. Remove from oven; let cool slightly. To serve, slice each quesadilla into wedges.
Variations Shredded cooked chicken or sauteed shrimp are also delicious variations in quesadillas, as are roasted red peppers; peppers packed in oil have the best flavor.

Martha Stewart Member Rating: 5 stars 06/19/2015 Just made it tonight! They were so delicious! I'd definitely recommend the cilantro, the fragrance was extremely appealing! Oh, and the filling I had was enough to make 12 of them instead of 2 although I followed the exact recipe. All in all, love this recipe, will definitely make them again! Martha Stewart Member Rating: 5 stars 02/20/2014 I made this with my H.S. Food Science class to increase nutrients in a meal. They loved it! Martha Stewart Member Rating: 5 stars 08/18/2013 Just made this dish tonight and it was amazing! My husband was suspicious of a quesadilla made with zucchini at first, but after he smelled the wonderful aroma of the zucchini and corn sautéing he changed his tune. I made a couple of changes, first I used spring onions instead of a regular onion, and second I cooked the tortilla in a pan on the stove top to make it extra crispy and avoid turning the oven on in summer. Martha Stewart Member Rating: Unrated 08/02/2011 Love these! And so does my 3 yr old, so even better! I use different cheese depending on what I have. I also don't brush with oil and bake. Instead I just place the tortilla in my cast iron tortilla skillet, add filling and top tortilla and brown each side. Quick and easy too! Martha Stewart Member Rating: Unrated 12/07/2009 Found them to be too greasy. Next time I will try less oil and perhaps leave out the onions. Martha Stewart Member Rating: Unrated 03/13/2009 These were delicious! I only used 3 cloves of garlic but otherwise followed the recipe exactly. I had enough filling for 3 quesadillas. I baked mine for 10 minutes but they didn't get very golden. Next time I'll trying baking them a little longer -- tonight I was too hungry to wait! Martha Stewart Member Rating: Unrated 06/02/2008 Great way to use zucchini. It would be great for finger food at a party or for a healthy family meal. I added colorful bell peppers to the zucchini and corn for added flavor. I also served it alongside homemade salsa and guacamole for a mexican inspired meal. You can add sour cream too. Martha Stewart Member Rating: Unrated 03/11/2008 A very fresh, quick, interesting approach to quesadillas. Really, you could make them with anything you have on hand--could be a good use of leftovers. Healthy, easy, and delicious. Makes a nice lunch or light dinner; kid-friendly too.Martha Stewart Member
