For the dough, knead the corn dough with a little water as needed and combine with baking powder, salt, and pepper. Set aside. In a skillet over medium heat, fry the chorizo for 5 minutes. Add the Del Monte diced potatoes and cook for a few more minutes until they take on color. Set aside. Make medium-sized dough balls and flatten them with a board until you get a tortilla. Fill with the potato and chorizo mixture and close. In a small pot, heat the oil over high heat and fry the quesadillas on both sides until golden brown. Drain and place on paper towels. Open the quesadillas and decorate with lettuce, cream, Del Monte® salsa, and cheese.
