  • 2 andouille sausage links, finely diced

  • 1 poblano chile, finely diced

  • ½ red bell pepper, finely diced

  • ½ large red onion, finely diced

Directions

  1. Heat 1 tablespoon of canola oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Stir in the diced sausage, poblano pepper, red pepper, red onion, and corn. Cook until soft, about 15 minutes.

  2. Spoon 1/4 of the sausage mixture on one half of each tortilla; top each with 1/2 cup cheese. Fold over tortillas to make a half moon shapes. Repeat with remaining ingredients.
