Chicken Quesadillas Recipe
"I've discovered that doing the "filling" ahead of time really helps. Simply prepare and store in the fridge until required. One of our favorite meals is this one. NOTE: This recipe was provided to me by a friend who uses canned cooked chicken. The other precooked chicken tenders they already sell would probably work as well.
ingredients
- 1lb boneless chicken breast
- 1(16 ounce) jar salsa
- 1⁄2lb cheddar cheese,
Shredded
- 10(8 inch) flour tortillas
directions
The chicken should no longer be pink inside after about five minutes of broiling on each side. Once the chicken has cooled, shred or cube it. The slicer in my salad shooter is excellent for this, I've discovered.
In a bowl, combine the cheese, salsa, and chicken.
Put a tenth of the mixture on one half of the tortilla, fold it over, and "seal" it with a little press. Although I normally don't, you can use water to assist the edges seal. I've discovered that it works well to press down so the tortilla adheres to the mixture.
The tortillas should begin to brown after about five minutes of baking at 400°F.
Serve alongside extra guacamole, sour cream, or salsa for dipping.
