Categories     Chicken

Time 35m

Yield 4 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 9

burrito size flour tortilla (the very large ones)
3/4 lb smoked cheddar cheese
1 lb Mexican blend cheese, sold in preshredded packages
1 lb boneless skinless chicken breast
1 onion
salt and black pepper
Mexican oregano
cumin
garlic powder

Steps:

  • Slice chicken breast into thin pieces and add spices,tossing to coat, refrigerate for about 30 minutes.Shred cheeses.
  • Peel onion and slice in half,then slice the onion thin,place in skillet on med heat with 2T olive oil and caramelize,usually takes about 10-15 minutes.
  • In a seperate skillet (I like to use my cast iron) add 2T olive oil,put on medium high heat till skillet gets hot,add chicken breasts and sear on both sides till done,you want the chicken to be blackened but not burnt,this should take about 5 minutes,just make sure the skillet is hot.
  • To prepare the quesadillas butter one side of flour tortilla and place in skillet or griddle on medium high heat,butter side down.
  • Add 1/3- 2/3c mexican blend cheese to tortilla, (sprinkling around the whole tortilla),then add the smoked cheddar,about 1/4c (do not overdo the smoked cheddar because it will be to strong).
  • Add the chicken pieces (just handful or however much you like) to one side of the tortilla,like you are making an omelet,then follow suit with the onions,as much as you like.
  • Fold tortilla over as in an omelet and"fry" till lightly brown and crispy,then flip over and do the other side.
  • Slice into wedges and serve with sour cream,salsa,guacamole.
  • This recipe will make 3-4 large tortillas,depending on how much ingredients you use per tortilla,the amount I have posted is only a guideline,use as little or as much as your liking.

Yield Serves 4

Number Of Ingredients 6

4 whole-wheat flour tortillas (8 inches across)
4 teaspoons prepared honey mustard
1/2 cup shredded Monterey Jack
4 ounces smoked turkey breast deli meat
1 Mcintosh apple, thinly sliced

Flip and cook until both sides are golden and cheese is oozing slightly, about 2 minutes more. Remove quesadilla from skillet and slice into thirds. Repeat with remaining tortillas.

Tips:

  • Use a good quality smoked cheddar cheese for the best flavor.
  • If you don't have smoked cheddar, you can use regular cheddar cheese and add a teaspoon of smoked paprika to the recipe.
  • Use a variety of apples for a more complex flavor. Granny Smith, Honeycrisp, and Pink Lady apples are all good choices.
  • Use thinly sliced apples so that they cook evenly.
  • Butter the tortillas before grilling them to help them crisp up.
  • Serve the quesadillas with your favorite dipping sauce, such as salsa, guacamole, or sour cream.
