Yield 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 14

1/2 teaspoon ground cumin
5 tablespoons olive oil, divided
1 1/4 teaspoons kosher salt, divided
3/4 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper, divided
1 1/4 pounds boneless, skinless chicken thighs, trimmed
6 ounces button mushrooms, trimmed, coarsely chopped
2 limes
1/2 cup Greek-style plain full- or low-fat yogurt
3 tablespoons coarsely chopped cilantro, plus whole leaves for serving
2 medium carrots (about 4 ounces each), peeled
1 medium mango, thinly sliced
5 ounces baby spinach (about 4 packed cups)
4 (10") flour tortillas
2 cups shredded Monterey Jack cheese (about 8 ounces)

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 425°F. Stir cumin, 3 Tbsp. oil, 1 tsp. salt, and 1/2 tsp. pepper in a large bowl. Add chicken and mushrooms and toss to coat. Spread on a rimmed baking sheet and roast until an instant-read thermometer inserted into thickest part of thigh registers 165°F, 15-17 minutes.
  • Meanwhile, juice limes to yield 6 Tbsp. juice. Blend yogurt, 3 Tbsp. lime juice, and 3 Tbsp. cilantro in a blender until smooth.
  • Shave carrots with a vegetable peeler lengthwise into ribbons (or use the large holes of a box grater). Whisk 1 Tbsp. oil and remaining 3 Tbsp. lime juice, 1/4 tsp. salt, and 1/4 tsp. pepper in a large bowl. Add carrots and mango; toss gently to coat.
  • Remove baking sheet from oven, arrange spinach over chicken, and continue to roast until spinach is wilted, about 2 minutes. Transfer chicken to a cutting board, leaving spinach on sheet, and thinly slice.
  • Arrange tortillas on a work surface. Dividing evenly, layer cheese, chicken, mushrooms, and spinach on one side of each tortilla. Fold tortillas in half to create half-moons.
  • Heat 1 1/2 tsp. oil in a large heavy skillet over medium-low until hot. Cook 2 quesadillas, turning once, until cheese is melted and tortillas are browned, 1-2 minutes per side. Transfer quesadillas to serving plates, then cook remaining quesadillas with remaining 1 1/2 tsp. oil.
  • Sprinkle quesadillas with cilantro leaves and serve with yogurt sauce and carrot-mango slaw alongside.
  • Do Ahead
  • Chicken and mushrooms can be cooked and yogurt sauce can be made 4 days ahead; cover and chill.

MANGO SLAW



Mango Slaw image

There is absolutely nothing new about coleslaw, but there is something slightly intriguing about coleslaw with mangos. Often, when we think of coleslaw, we think of it as a side for fish and chips, barbecue, or heavy, mayonnaise-drenched cabbage. But just think about the cool, crunchy sweetness of the cabbage, carrots and mango, paired with the spicy kick of jerk chicken. What's a better combination? You also don't have to serve it as a side: It can be tucked into a sandwich or wrap. One of the best things about this recipe is that all the ingredients are readily available, and there are many shortcuts you can take, like using a bagged mix. Who wants to ruin their knuckles on a box grater, or break out the food processor?

CHICKEN MUSHROOM QUESADILLA



Chicken Mushroom Quesadilla image

This is always requested when all "the boys" come over for a game. You can make the filling ahead of time and just warm up before putting it in the tortillas. I serve this with sour cream, salsa and Zaar posted "Wholly Guacomole". Hope you enjoy!

Provided by TGIF Girl Friday

Categories     Chicken

Time 40m

Yield 6 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 9

10 count flour tortillas
1 -2 chicken breast (cooked and shredded)
4 ounces chopped green chilies
15 ounces goya black bean soup (drained and rinsed)
10 ounces sliced mushrooms (crumbled, not too small)
1 small yellow onion (chopped)
1/4 cup chunky salsa
8 -16 ounces shredded mexican cheese (depending on how cheesy you like it)
butter

Steps:

  • Add a tad of butter to a fry pan and add onions and mushrooms.
  • When all the water that was released from the mushrooms has evaporated, add the cooked chicken, salsa, green chiles and drained and rinsed beans. In case you are wondering, why rinse the beans? There is so much flavor packed into those little guys from soaking in the soup broth and you don't want a soggy tortilla. Anyhow, simmer for about 5 minutes.
  • Lightly butter one side of the tortilla and place in frypan (medium-low), add just enough cheese for the filling to stick to. Add the warm filling and top with more cheese. Top with another tortilla that has been lightly buttered on the side facing up. When cheese has melted on the bottom, carefully flip.
  • Remove to plate when the other side has melted. I use a pizza roller to cut into 4 wedges.
