Cooking Steps
- Heat a large non-stick pan over medium-high heat.
- While the pan heats, thinly slice green onion keeping white and green parts separate.
- When the pan is hot, add 1/2 tbsp (1 tbsp) oil, then chorizo. Cook, breaking up chorizo into smaller pieces, until no pink remains, 4-5 min.**
- Add corn and green onion whites. Sprinkle Mexican Seasoning over pan, then season with salt and pepper. Cook, stirring often, until fragrant, 1 min.
- While chorizo cooks, brush 1 tbsp (2 tbsp) oil over one side of tortillas.
- Arrange tortillas, oiled-side down, on a parchment-lined baking sheet. (NOTE: For 4 ppl, divide tortillas between 2 parchment-lined baking sheets.)
- Sprinkle half the cheese evenly over one side of each tortilla.
- Top cheese with chorizo filling.
- Sprinkle remaining cheese over filling.
- Fold tortillas in half, gently pressing down, to enclose filling.
- Bake quesadillas in the bottom of the oven, flipping halfway through, until cheese melts and quesadillas are golden, 2-3 min per side. (NOTE: For 4 ppl, bake in the bottom and middle of the oven, rotating sheets after flipping.)
- Meanwhile, cut tomato into 1/4-inch pieces.
- Zest, then juice half the lime (whole lime for 4 ppl).
- Add tomatoes, 1 tsp (2 tsp) lime juice and remaining green onions to a small bowl. Season with salt and pepper, to taste, then stir to combine.
- Add sour cream, lime zest, 1/2 tsp (1 tsp) lime juice and 1/2 tbsp (1 tbsp) water to another small bowl. Season with salt, pepper and a pinch of sugar, to taste, then stir to combine.
- Divide quesadillas between plates.
- Spoon pico de gallo over quesadillas. Drizzle lime crema over top.
If you've opted to get chorizo, reduce oil to 1/2 tbsp (1 tbsp), then add chorizo to the pan. Cook chorizo in the same way the recipe instrcuts you to cook the turkey. [Remove and discard excess fat, if desired.]
