Learn how to make paneer and corn quesadilla recipe | Mexican paneer and corn quesadilla | paneer quesadilla |
Quesadilla is basically a Mexican dish, stuffed with different fillings. Though paneer quesadilla is not an authentic Mexican version, it is just a fusion recipe. In this recipe, I used paneer, cheese, fresh veggies and sweet corn in this recipe.
This power-packed paneer quesadilla gets its protein not just from paneer and mozzarella cheese, but also from the unique combination of soya and wheat flours in the dough. Enjoy these paneer quesadilla fresh off the tava for best taste and texture.
Tips to make paneer and corn quesadilla: 1. Instead of chopped green chillies you can use red chili flakes in the stuffing. 2. You can also use leftover rotis to make this recipe. 3. You can make the paneer cubes instead of grating it for the pleasant mouthfeel.

Paneer, Corn and capsicum is a hit combination. This delicious recipe isn't that time consuming. Little green chillies adds a slight spiciness flavour to it, but it is not at all spicy.
