Hailee Steinfeld Shares Her Poblano and Corn Quesadilla Recipe and Talks Her ‘Chaotic’ Cooking Style (Exclusive)

Hailee Steinfeld, the multi-talented actress and founder of Angel Margarita, recently shared her delicious Poblano and Corn Quesadilla recipe exclusively with PEOPLE. In an interview with PEOPLE, Steinfeld revealed her “chaotic” cooking style, describing how she enjoys listening to music, tasting her creations as she goes along, and always having a drink in hand while in the kitchen.

Despite not growing up cooking extensively, Steinfeld found joy in creating dishes from scratch as she got older, especially for her loved ones. She highlighted that the kitchen has become a place of creativity and connection for her, emphasizing that the food doesn’t need to be fancy as long as it feels good.

The California native, who tied the knot with Buffalo Bills quarterback Josh Allen earlier this year, sees cooking as a casual and enjoyable experience. She shared that the Poblano and Corn Quesadilla recipe she is sharing with PEOPLE was born out of leftovers one night, making it a crowd-pleaser that is perfect for sharing with friends in a laid-back setting.

Steinfeld recommends pairing the quesadilla with her Angel Margarita Lime flavour or the Ranch Water can from her canned cocktail brand. She explained how the citrusy and tequila-flavoured drink complements the cheesy richness of the quesadilla, while the Ranch Water provides a lighter and more refreshing option, especially when served with sides like guacamole or salsa.

To create the perfect quesadilla, Steinfeld suggests warming the tortillas in a dry pan before assembling them. For an extra touch of flavour, she sometimes adds butter and parmesan cheese, which results in a crispy and golden crust that enhances the overall dish. The recipe also includes poblano chiles, white onion, fresh corn kernels, cream cheese, sour cream, Monterey Jack cheese, and flour tortillas.

The cooking process involves broiling the poblano chiles, sautéing the onion and corn, mixing in the cheeses and seasoning, and assembling and cooking the quesadillas until golden brown on both sides. The result is a delicious and satisfying dish that is perfect for any casual gathering or family meal.
