recipe: Texas BBQ Chicken Quesadillas

I found this recipe a year or two ago, and I never made it until just recently. It is super-yummy! I made it again the other night, and it was just as good as the first time. The thing I like about it is that it’s very flexible- I stick with the basics, but you could add all kinds of veggies or seasoning or other ingredients.

Ingredients

1-2 boneless, skinless chicken breasts, cut into bite-sized pieces
1 small onion, sliced
1 green pepper, chopped
BBQ sauce
olive oil
ground cumin
ground red pepper
salt & pepper
2 large flour tortillas (could substitute wheat if you want!)
shredded cheddar jack cheese

Directions

1. Saute chicken with salt, pepper, and a bit of olive oil in a pan. In a separate pan, cook onions and peppers with a bit of olive oil and pepper. Add BBQ sauce (as much or as little as you like) to the onions and peppers; then add a pinch of ground cumin and ground red pepper.

2. While that all cooks, preheat the oven to 425 degrees F. Place flour tortillas on a cookie sheet.

3. When chicken and veggies are cooked, combine into 1 pan (easiest to add the chicken pieces to the veggies and sauce) Mix and cook for a few minutes to coat the chicken.

4. Spoon mixture onto one half of each tortilla. Top with shredded cheese and fold in half to ‘close’ the quesadilla. Bake for 10-15 minutes in the oven, or until crispy.

5. Serve with chips and salsa, sour cream, guacamole; garnish with cilantro. YUM!
