8 quesadillas

Ingredients

  • 1 ½ teaspoons olive oil

  • ¼ cup chopped onion

  • ½ red bell pepper, finely chopped

  • ¼ cup frozen corn kernels, thawed

  • 1 serrano chile pepper, seeded and diced

  • 1 clove garlic, minced

  • 1 (15 ounce) can HORMEL® Mary Kitchen® Roast Beef Hash

  • 1 canned chipotle chile in adobo sauce, minced, or more to taste

  • 3 tablespoons vegetable oil for frying, or as needed

  • 8 corn tortillas

  • 1 cup shredded mozzarella cheese

Garnish:

  • ¼ cup chopped onion

  • ¼ cup chopped fresh cilantro

  • 1 cup salsa

  • ½ cup sour cream

Directions

  1. Heat a skillet over medium heat. Add olive oil. Cook and stir onions and red bell pepper until starting to soften, about 3 minutes. Add corn and serrano pepper; cook 2 to 3 minutes. Add garlic and cook 1 minute more.

  2. Reduce heat to medium-low. Add HORMEL® MARY KITCHEN® Roast Beef Hash and chipotle pepper. Cook until the hash is heated and well mixed with the rest of the ingredients, about 2 or 3 minutes.

  3. Heat tortillas in a skillet, turning once, until they are soft and can be folded without breaking.

  4. Heat vegetable oil in a skillet over medium heat.

  5. Spoon 2 tablespoons of the hash filling and 1 1/2 tablespoons of mozzarella cheese on each tortilla. Fold tortillas in half. Fry in vegetable oil until quesadillas are golden and crispy, about 3 minutes on each side. Transfer to a paper towel-lined plate.

  6. Mix cilantro and onions together in a small bowl.

  7. Serve the quesadillas with salsa, sour cream, onions, and cilantro. Enjoy!

Cook's Note:

You can fry up to 4 quesadillas at the same time in a large pan.

For a lighter version lightly coat the skillet with cooking spray to cook the quesadillas.

We have determined the nutritional value of oil for frying based on a retention value of 10% after cooking. Amount will vary depending on cooking time and temperature, ingredient density, and specific type of oil used.
