The Corn and Zucchini Quesadilla with Smoked Tomato Salsa and Avocado Relish from Bobby Flay’s Bold American Food was a huge hit at our Southwestern Fiesta cooking class.

Fresh cut corn and zucchini make these quesadillas special.

Make a mix of cut corn, diced zucchini, red onion and minced jalapeno.  Shred a mixture of jack and white cheddar cheese.  Place it all between two flour tortillas and place in a 450 degree oven.  I promise it will be a hit at your next party.

Corn and Zucchini Quesadilla with Smoked Tomato Salsa and Avocado Relish

I've scaled up this Bobby Flay recipe to serve at a party for 12. If you have a smaller group, I recommend making the full amount to have all three components prepared and ready in the refrigerator for an easy snack or appetizer. The Smoked Tomato Salsa and Avocado Relish are excellent dips for tortilla chips as well.
