- 1 cup frozen corn
- ½ cup finely diced red onion
- 1 garlic clove, minced
- ½ cup chopped cilantro
- 2 cups grated cheddar
- 1 packet taco seasoning
- 10 flour tortillas (7-inch)
How to make it
- Toss beans, corn, onion, garlic, cilantro, cheese, and seasoning together. The corn can go in frozen.
- Put about ½ cup filling on half of each tortilla; fold the empty side over.
- Heat a skillet over medium heat. Cook in batches, turning when the underside is golden. Serve once both sides are crisp and the filling is hot with melted cheese.
