Notes / Tips / Wine Advice:
Serving Tip:
Serve these quesadillas hot and fresh with a generous side of guacamole, your favorite salsa, and a dollop of nondairy sour cream. The combination of textures and flavors will make for a truly satisfying meal.
Wine Advice:
With the fresh, vibrant flavors of the roasted chiles, cilantro, and corn, you need a wine that can keep up. A crisp, light Sauvignon Blanc is an excellent choice. Its bright acidity and citrus notes will cut through the richness of the cheese and perfectly complement the spices. It’s a pairing that makes every bite feel like a celebration.
