For a vegetarian option, substitute the roast beef hash with black beans or seasoned lentils. Adjust the amount of chipotle chile to your preferred level of spice. Ensure the skillet is not overcrowded when frying the quesadillas, to maintain the oil temperature and ensure even cooking. Serve with guacamole for an extra layer of flavor and texture.

Sauté Aromatics: Heat a skillet over medium heat. Add olive oil, then cook and stir onions and red bell pepper until starting to soften, about 3 minutes. Add corn and serrano pepper; cook 2 to 3 minutes. Incorporate garlic and cook 1 minute more.

Infuse the Hash: Reduce heat to medium-low. Add roast beef hash and chipotle pepper. Cook until the hash is heated and well mixed with the rest of the ingredients, about 2 to 3 minutes, allowing the flavors to meld.
