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.

FOREVERMAMA'S SPICY CHICKEN QUESADILLAS OR BURRITOS



Forevermama's Spicy Chicken Quesadillas or Burritos image

Though this is a recipe for Quesadillas, I've turned them more often into burritos, following all the same ingredients, except rolling the tortilla's burrito-style. When made into quesadilla's, not only are they great for weeknight, weekend meals, appetizer, but they are also great for bringing them to a potluck. Just slice them like a pizza and place them on pretty serving platter and I'll guarantee that they'll be gone lickety split.

Categories     Chicken Breast

Time 2h15m

Yield 5-6 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 7

4 chicken breast halves, cut into 1/4 inch thick strips
1 (1 1/4 ounce) package taco seasoning mix (refer to note # 2 below)
2 1/2 cups shredded monterey jack cheese
12 -16 ounces picante sauce
2 -3 medium red sweet bell peppers, chopped
10 -12 flour tortillas (10-inch)
melted butter

Steps:

  • Combine chicken and taco seasoning mix in a heavy duty zip-top bag; toss to coat. Refrigerate for 1 - 2 hours or overnight.
  • Place chicken in a broiler pan or in a 15 x 10 x 11 inch jellyroll pan.
  • Broil coated chicken 6 inches from heat (with electric oven door partially open) for 5 - 6 minutes. Remove from oven and cool.
  • Cut chicken into bite-size pieces.
  • In a bowl, combine chicken, cheese, picante sauce, and red peppers; stirring well. Set aside.
  • Brush 1 side of each tortilla with melted butter; place 2 tortillas, buttered side down, on a cookie sheet. Top each tortilla with about 1 cup of chicken mixture, spreading to edges of tortilla. Top each with a tortilla, buttered side up.
  • Bake at 375 degrees Fahrenheit for 10 minutes or until golden brown. Cut into wedges. Repeat with remaining tortillas and chicken mixture. Serve immediately.
  • NOTE: If making these into burritos, mound chicken mixture 1/4 of the was down on tortilla's. Turn over short side of tortilla over chicken. Turn both right and left sides of tortilla about 1 inch inches Roll up cigar style, enveloping the chicken mixture tightly. Place on greased cookie sheet, seam-side down. Brush each burrito with melted butter. Bake until golden brown.
  • Note # 2:If you can find Chi-Chi's taco seasoning mix, these will be To Die For. But unfortunately I can't find this seasoning anymore. They used to advertise right on the package that it didn't contain the "red stuff". I use other taco seasoning mixes, but none compare to the goodness that Chi-Chi's had. If you can find Chi-Chi's somewhere, use 2 pkg's because each pkg. was about 1 /2 - 3/4 ounces. If you do find it, let me know, because I'd love to know because I've been searching for a long time.

SPICY CHICKEN QUESADILLAS - MY GOOF TURNED GOOD



Spicy Chicken Quesadillas - My Goof Turned Good image

Simple, spicy and quick! Let me explain the title: I had bought ingredients for 2 different recipes and was making the quesadillas. As I dumped the second can of tomatoes with chiles into the mix, I realized they were for the other recipe! Ooops! Well, guess what? It turned out pretty good! :) As most of my recipes, don't make this if your family doesn't care for spicy food.

Time 15m

Yield 4 quesadillas, 4-8 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 5

1 (10 ounce) can chicken breasts, strained and shredded
2 (10 ounce) cans tomatoes and green chilies (I prefer Rotel)

1/4 cup green onion, sliced
8 flour tortillas (burrito size)

Steps:

  • Strain the tomatoes using a strainer. Make sure all liquid is out.
  • Mix shredded chicken, tomatoes, cheese, and onions.
  • Lay out 4 of the tortillas. Spread a thin even layer of the mix over the tortillas - making sure to cover the entire tortilla. Cover each with extra tortilla.
  • Using non-stick pan, lightly brown on both sides, making sure cheese melts.
  • Slice into 4-6 pieces and serve with sour cream, salsa, pico de gallo, salad --
  • We use this as a meal, but if you want to use it as appetizers, substitute the burrito-sized tortillas with 16 taco-sized. Spread the mixture over 8 of them and top with the other 8. Slice into 4 pieces.

Very, Very good, if you can find the sundried tomato tortillas, they add a wonderful taste, as compared to the plain ones. We pass the salsa also, with the sour cream. More heat can be added if desired and the recipe can be scaled down to one or two.
