- For the tortillas in this recipe we have used a combo of plain flour and whole wheat flour, but you can also make the tortilla using maize flour instead of whole wheat flour, for that you can follow our recipe for Corn Tortillas and in case you like spiced tortillas follow our basic recipe of tortilla for wraps and rolls.
- Check out our other Quesadilla recipe with different stuffing like Veggie stuffed quesadilla, paneer and corn quesadilla and chilli bean quesadillas.

Corn and cheese is my favourite combination. I tried this recipe and it turned out awesome. It is so cheesy. The tomato along with the coloured capsicum and chilli flakes gives a very nice flavour. The best part is there is no cooking to be done to make the stuffing. You just have to mix everything and the stuffing is ready. Loved this recipe. Too good!
