Chicken Quesadillas image

This is a great recipe for parties. I freeze the leftovers; they reheat quite well. The zesty chicken and cooked peppers are a succulent delight when mixed with the melted cheeses. Cut the quesadillas into wedges and serve with sour cream and salsa.

EASY SPICY CHICKEN QUESADILLAS



Easy Spicy Chicken Quesadillas image

I know there are several recipes out there for this item, but my family swears by this one (we even served at Christmas Eve one year and it was a crowd pleaser). To make this recipe even faster, you can use the rotisserie chicken's from the grocery store, or in a pinch, poach the chicken breasts in salted water for 10-15 minutes.

Time 30m

Yield 4 Quesadillas, 4-6 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 20

2 large skinless chicken breasts, cooked and shredded
1 teaspoon vegetable oil
1 green bell pepper, chopped
1 (16 ounce) can black beans (drained)
1 teaspoon lime juice
1/2 white onion, chopped
1 garlic clove, minced
1 large jalapeno pepper, chopped (leave the ribs and seeds in if you want this hot)
1 fresh ripe tomatoes, chopped
3 green onions, chopped (separate the whites and greens)
2 tablespoons chopped fresh cilantro
1/4 teaspoon cumin
1/4 teaspoon smoked paprika
6 fajita-sized flour tortillas
2 cups grated cheese (Colby jack, cheddar, whatever you prefer)
poultry seasoning
1/2 teaspoon cumin
1/2 teaspoon smoked paprika
1/2 teaspoon ground red pepper
salt

Steps:

  • In a bowl, mix the shredded chicken and spices (cumin, paprika, red pepper, salt) and set aside.
  • Into a medium frying pan at medium/medium-high heat add your oil, green bell pepper, white onion, jalapeno, garlic, and black beans. Cook until the black beans soften slightly and the garlic is fragrant (about 3-5 minutes). Add tomatoes, whites of the green onions, cilantro, cumin, and paprika. Stir to combine and take off the heat.
  • To assemble, spray a large frying pan with non-stick spray (grill pan or griddle will work well) set to medium/medium-high heat and place a single tortilla in the middle.
  • Sprinkle a thin layer of cheese (about 3 tablespoons) over the surface, add a layer of the vegetable mix (about 3 tablespoons) to half the tortilla, and the same amount of your shredded chicken to the same half, finally sprinkle over about a teaspoon of your reserved un-cooked green onions. Apply another 3 tablespoons of cheese to the top, cover and allow to melt for about 2-3 minutes.
  • Using a spatula, flip the un-topped half over the topped half, pressing lightly, cover and cook another 2-3 minutes so all the cheese has melted and the tortilla is crispy.
  • Continue until all your veggie and chicken mixes are used up. Setting your finished quesadillas on a cooling rack in the oven set to low. When ready to serve, cut with a pizza cutter into slices and enjoy! These are great with a side of sour cream and/or guacamole.
