For the edamame salad:
+ 2 c. frozen shelled edamame + 1 pt. cherry tomatoes, quartered + 1/4 c. finely chopped red onion + 1 Tbsp. fresh lime juice + 2 Tbsp. chopped fresh cilantro + 1/2 tsp. salt For the quesadillas: + 2 Tbsp. vegetable oil + 1 c. chopped onion + 2 garlic cloves, minced + 1 (8 3/4-oz.) can corn kernels, drained + 2 c. shredded cooked chicken, such as rotisserie chicken + 1 1/2 c. shredded Mexican four cheese blend + 1/4 tsp. salt + 6 (7-8 in.) flour tortillas What to do:
1. To make the topping: Bring 2 quarts of lightly salted water to a boil in a medium saucepan over high heat. Add the edamame, return to a boil and cook until tender, 6-7 min.; drain and rinse under cold water then drain again. Transfer edamame to a bowl and stir in the tomatoes, onion, lime juice, cilantro and salt; mix well and refrigerate until ready to serve.
2. Heat the oil in a large nonstick skillet over medium-high heat. Add the onion and garlic; cook, stirring occasionally, until starting to soften, 2-3 min. Add the corn and cook 2 min. longer. Transfer to a bowl and stir in the chicken, cheese, and salt; mix well. 3. Put one tortilla on a work surface and spread the lower half of it with 1/2 c. of the chicken mixture. Fold the top half of the tortilla over the filling to form a semi-circle. Repeat with the remaining tortillas and chicken mixture. 4. Wipe out the skillet with a paper towel and return to the stove over medium heat. Add the quesadillas 2 at a time and cook 3-4 min. per side or until lightly golden and hot. Divide among 6 plates and top each with 1/2 c. of the edamame salad. Nutritional information:
