The real magic happens when you fold this savory filling into warm flour tortillas, sprinkle generously with pepper Jack cheese, and crisp them up in a skillet until golden brown and the cheese is perfectly melted. The slight kick from the jalapeño complements the sweetness of the corn and the creaminess of the cheese, resulting in a flavor explosion with every bite.
