Yield Makes 6 appetizer servings

Number Of Ingredients 11

1 1/2 cups purchased medium-hot chunky salsa verde
1 cup frozen corn kernels, thawed
1 cup chopped red onion, divided
1/4 cup plus 6 tablespoons chopped fresh cilantro
1 pound chicken tenders
2 teaspoons chili powder
1 teaspoon ground cumin
4 tablespoons olive oil, divided
2 large garlic cloves, chopped
3 burrito-size flour tortillas (11 inches in diameter)
3 cups (packed) grated sharp cheddar cheese (about 12 ounces)

Steps:

  • Stir salsa, corn, 1/4 cup red onion, and 1/4 cup cilantro in small bowl to blend. Season salsa to taste with salt and pepper.
  • Sprinkle chicken with chili powder, cumin, salt, and pepper. Heat 2 tablespoons oil in heavy large skillet over medium-high heat. Add garlic and remaining 3/4 cup onion and sauté 1 minute. Add chicken and sauté until chicken is just cooked through, about 5 minutes. Sprinkle half of 1 tortilla with 1/2 cup cheese. Place 1/3 chicken mixture atop cheese; sprinkle with 2 tablespoons cilantro and another 1/2 cup cheese. Fold tortilla in half. Repeat with remaining tortillas, cheese, chicken mixture, and cilantro. Heat 1 tablespoon oil in each of 2 heavy large skillets over medium-high heat. Place 2 quesadillas in 1 skillet and third in second skillet. Cook quesadillas until brown and cheese melts, about 4 minutes per side. Transfer quesadillas to work surface and cut into wedges. Arrange on platter; serve with salsa.

These quesadillas were just okay. The chicken was a little dry and the cheese wasn't very flavorful.

I love that these quesadillas can be made ahead of time. It's so convenient to be able to just pop them in the oven when I'm ready to eat.

These quesadillas were so good! The chicken was tender and juicy, and the cheese was melted and gooey. The salsa added a nice touch of flavor.
