Ingredients

  • 1 cup (250 mL) cooked Ontario Corn kernels
  • 1 medium Ontario Tomato, seeded and finely diced
  • Half small Ontario Sweet Red, Green or Yellow Pepper, seeded and diced
  • 1 cup (250 mL) shredded Monterey Jack or mozzarella cheese
  • 1 cup (250 mL) shredded Cheddar cheese
  • 1/2 cup (125 mL) diced cooked ham or smoked turkey
  • 1/4 cup (50 mL) finely chopped fresh coriander (optional)
  • 2 tbsp (25 mL) salsa
  • 8 flour tortillas (7 to 8-inch/18 to 20 cm)

Instructions

Preheat barbecue to medium heat. In medium bowl, stir together corn, tomato, red pepper, Monterey Jack and Cheddar cheeses, ham, coriander and salsa. Lay tortillas on baking sheet. Spoon about 1/2 cup (125 mL) filling on half of each; fold over to form semicircle.

Place on barbecue, pressing top slightly; barbecue for 30 to 60 seconds. With wide spatula, carefully turn so as not to spill filling (don't worry, a little will probably spill out). Barbecue for 30 to 60 seconds or until cheese is melted. Serve immediately, whole or cut into wedges.
