Ham Quesadillas

Ham leftovers get a flavor boost in these quesadillas. Serve with sour cream and salsa.

Recipe Ingredients:

2 cups coarsely chopped leftover ham, or chopped deli ham
1 cup loose pack frozen corn or 1 (8-ounce) can corn, drained
2 teaspoons chili powder
2 cups shredded cheddar cheese
8 (10-inch) flour tortillas
Sour cream for accompaniment (optional)
Salsa for accompaniment (optional)

Cooking Directions:

1. In a large bowl toss ham, corn, chili powder and cheese.
2. Heat 10-inch nonstick skillet over medium-high heat. Place one flour tortilla in skillet; layer with about 1/2 cup of the ham mixture to within 1/2 inch of edge of tortilla. Top with another tortilla. Cook over medium-high heat for 4 to 5 minutes, turning after 2 minutes, until light golden brown. Remove quesadilla from skillet and keep warm. Repeat with remaining tortillas and filling.
3. Cut quesadillas into wedges to serve. Offer sour cream and salsa for accompaniment, if desired.

Makes 8 quesadillas.
