START THE ASSEMBLY LINE
Smear each tortilla with the sour cream. Top 1 of the tortillas with the Corn & mince mixture, the chopped jalapeños (to taste), and the grated cheese. Sandwich the loaded tortilla with the remaining tortilla.
TOASTY TRIANGLES
Place the quesadilla in a clean pan or grill pan over medium heat. Fry until golden, 1-2 minutes. Cover the pan with a chopping board or a plate. Flip the pan quickly so the quesadilla flips onto the board or plate. Slide the quesadilla back into the pan so the untoasted side is on the base of the pan. Toast until the cheese is melted, 1-2 minutes. Remove from the pan and cut into triangles.
GUAC GUAC GO
Halve the Avocado and set aside one of the halves for another meal. Scoop the avocado flesh into a bowl and mash with a fork. Mix through the diced tomato, the lime juice, and seasoning.
