corn kernels (fresh, frozen/thawed, or canned/drained)
1⁄2 cup
beans, black or pinto (canned or cooked; drained)
1⁄2 cup
cilantro, chopped
1 bell pepper, finely chopped or grated
1 jalapeno pepper, finely minced (optional)
1 carrot, shredded
CILANTRO YOGURT DIP
2 cups
plain nonfat yogurt
1⁄4 cup
cilantro, finely chopped
1⁄2 teaspoon
salt
Directions
Preheat large skillet over low heat (250 degrees in an electric skillet).
Divide cheese, corn, beans, cilantro, peppers and shredded carrot between the tortillas, covering about half of each tortilla. Fold each tortilla in half over the filling.
Place one or two folded tortillas on a dry skillet and heat until cheese is melted and tortilla is slightly golden, about 3 minutes.
Turn over and cook other side until golden, about 1 minute.
Remove to a plate and repeat until all tortillas are heated.
Mix together nonfat yogurt, cilantro and salt to make the dip.
Cut each quesadillas into wedges and serve immediately with the dip.
Refrigerate leftovers within 2 hours.
Notes
One large ear of corn makes about 1 cup of cut corn.
Have made the quesadilla and dip with several groups and for events. People love the quesadillas with the Cilantro Yogurt Dip and are amazed at the simple ingredients in the dip. Be warned, the dip recipe makes a lot, we find that 1/2 recipe is usually plenty.

Great recipe! Everyone at dinner can prepare their meal how they like it. We added the FH refried bean and salsa recipe and it was such a hit to have so many toppings/dips to choose from. We used the extra toppings for rice bowls later in the week. I do agree with another user that the yogurt dip is great with onion/garlic powder.

Submitted by Edamame on Tue, 03/26/2013 - 15:52This recipe is good, but the dip is much better if you add a little onion and/or garlic powder. It's fools the kids--they think it's ranch!
