I feel a little silly posting a recipe for quesadillas, but the flavors in these were so good, I just had to share. And by the way, I used a quesadilla maker (it makes the outsides nice and crisp), but if you don't have one just use a frying pan or griddle and flip to cook on both sides.
Chicken Cilantro Quesadillas
Chicken Cilantro Quesadillas
10 medium-sized flour tortillas
2 c. shredded cheese (I like colby-jack)
1 large chicken breast
1 tb. taco seasoning
2 tb. canola oil
2 tb. lime juice
1/2 c. chopped fresh cilantro
salsa, sour cream, and guacamole (recipe here), if desired
Heat oil in skillet. Rub chicken with taco seasoning, cook in hot skillet about 4-5 minutes per side, until just cooked through. Slice or shred chicken, toss with lime juice and cilantro. Sprinkle 5 tortillas evenly with cheese, then with chicken mixture. Top with other 5 tortillas. Cook in quesadilla maker until cheese is melted and tortillas are slightly crispy. Slice into wedges and serve with salsa, guacamole, and sour cream.
