Steps:
- 1. Prepare the salsa. Gently fold together all the salsa ingredients in a bowl. Refrigerate, covered, until ready to use, up to 4 hours.
- 2. Sprinkle 2 tortillas evenly with half of the cheese. Scatter the chicken, mushrooms, scallions, and basil equally over the cheese. Dot both with sour cream. Sprinkle with the remaining cheese.
- 3. Place a second tortilla over each, creating a sandwich, or quesadilla.
- 4. Heat a nonstick dry skillet over medium heat. Place a quesadilla in the skillet and cook, turning once, until tortilla browns slightly, 3 to 4 minutes per side. Remove to a low oven to keep warm. Repeat.
- 5. Cut each quesadilla into quarters. Top with salsa.
Tips:
- Mise en place: Before you start cooking, make sure you have all your ingredients and utensils ready. This will help you save time and avoid scrambling around in the kitchen.
- Use fresh ingredients: Fresh vegetables and herbs will give your quesadillas the best flavor. If you can, try to use organic or locally-grown produce.
- Don't overcook the chicken: Chicken is a delicate meat that can easily become dry and tough if it's overcooked. Cook the chicken until it is just cooked through, about 5-7 minutes per side.
- Use a good quality cheese: The cheese is one of the most important ingredients in quesadillas, so it's important to use a good quality cheese that melts well. Some good options include cheddar, Monterey Jack, and mozzarella.
- Don't overcrowd the pan: When you're cooking the quesadillas, don't overcrowd the pan. This will prevent them from cooking evenly and will make them more likely to stick.
Conclusion:
Chicken and mixed vegetable quesadillas are a delicious and easy-to-make meal that is perfect for busy weeknights. With a few simple tips, you can make sure that your quesadillas are perfect every time. So next time you're looking for a quick and easy meal, give these chicken and mixed vegetable quesadillas a try. You won't be disappointed!
