Cooking up the perfect quesadilla is just as much about choosing the right blend of fresh ingredients as it is about making sure that the crust on the tortilla is perfectly crispy. This recipe is the perfect mix of cheesiness, freshness, acidity and spice—and it crisps up like a dream. As an added bonus, you can top this dish off with a super fresh homemade roasted corn salsa.

You can buy salsa at the grocery store like you’ve done a million times before, OR you can make your own salsa, which is even more delicious and easier than you might think. This recipe includes the directions and ingredients list for easy-to-make roasted corn salsa. This tangy, fresh salsa is an excellent complement to your Impossible™ Quesadillas. One taste and you’ll wonder why you ever bought salsa in a plastic tub at the supermarket!

Two pro tips: 1. Buy limes and squeeze your own lime juice. It’s much better than that stuff you find in a green fake-lime squirt bottle at the store. As far as measurements go, one ripe lime should yield about one tablespoon of juice. 2. Fresh corn makes a big difference in the taste of the salsa, so if you’re hoping to prioritize flavor, be sure to head right to your local farmer’s market. You’ll be able to pick up all of your other fresh ingredients there as well.

This quesadilla is the star of any meal and is a great option for both lunch and dinner. It’s also totally kid-friendly and can be served as a finger food that they’ll ask for again and again.
