CHEESY CHICKEN QUESADILLAS



Cheesy Chicken Quesadillas image

Tasty tortillas filled with chicken, spring onions and goats' cheese or, for a milder cheese flavouring, replace the tangy goats' cheese with ricotta cheese or any other soft cheese. Served with avocado and garlic dip, diced cucumber and tomatoes, these are ideal for a light meal or a supper snack. Tortillas have been a staple of the Mexican diet since the time of the Aztecs. I have adapted this recipe, from an International Masters '1001 recipes for pan or wok' recipe card, and posted it for the 2005 Zaar World Tour. 350g = 12 ounces; 175g = 6 ounces.

Tips:

- For a crispier quesadilla, use a well-seasoned cast-iron skillet or griddle. - To prevent the tortillas from sticking, brush them lightly with oil before adding them to the skillet. - Use a cheese blend that melts well, such as mozzarella, cheddar, or Monterey Jack. - Be generous with the fillings; the more fillings you use, the tastier your quesadilla will be. - Serve the quesadilla immediately with your favorite toppings, such as salsa, guacamole, and sour cream.
