3
Spoon onto tortillas, adding about 1/4 cup cheese mixture to each tortilla; fold in half.
4
Spray grill pan with cooking spray; heat on medium heat. Add 3 quesadillas; cook 4 to 5 min. on each side or until filling is heated through and quesadillas are lightly browned on both sides. Repeat with remaining quesadillas.

Kitchen Tips
Tip 1
Make Ahead
The quesadilla filling can be prepared ahead of time. Refrigerate up to 2 days before using as directed.
Tip 2
How to Easily Remove the Corn from the Cobs
Stand bottom end of 1 corn cob in center of fluted tube pan. Use sharp knife to cut kernels off the cob. (The kernels will fall into pan making cleanup a breeze.) Repeat with the remaining ear of corn.
Tip 3
Shortcut
Prepare using 1-1/2 cups frozen corn.
Tip 4
Special Extra
For additional flavor, roast the corn before removing it from the cobs. Heat grill pan or heavy large nonstick skillet on medium-high heat. Add corn; cook 10 to 12 min. or until evenly roasted on all sides, turning occasionally. Cool, then use as directed.
