Yields: 6 servings
Ingredients
- 2 cups fat-free plain yogurt
- 1 cup finely minced cilantro
- 1 teaspoon cumin
- 12 soft corn tortillas
- 1 cup shredded reduced-fat Monterey Jack cheese 4 ounces
- 1 cup shredded reduced-fat Colby cheese 4 ounces
- 1/2 cup fresh corn kernels or black beans
- 1/2 cup cilantro coarsely chopped
- 1 red bell pepper finely minced
- 1 jalapeño pepper finely minced
Directions
- Line a large strainer with a coffee filter or paper towel and place over a mixing bowl. Pour in yogurt and let sit until some of the liquid has drained away and yogurt is consistency of sour cream. Transfer to small mixing bowl. Stir in cilantro and cumin.
- Preheat large skillet over low heat. Line up six tortillas. Divide cheese, corn, cilantro and peppers among tortillas, then cover each with a second tortilla. Place a tortilla on dry skillet or grill and warm until cheese is melted and tortilla is slightly golden. Flip and cook other side until golden. Cut into wedges and serve. Repeat with remaining quesadillas. Serve each wedge with a dollop of cilantro yogurt dip.
Notes
Entertaining Idea: Make these ahead and serve at room temperature, or set up an assembly line “grillside” and let guests select their own blend of cheese and “confetti.”
