Mexican Chicken Quesadillas

These Mexican quesadillas are great paired with your favorite toppings. My favorites are salsa and sour cream, but you could use a lot of other toppings as well including guacamole, cayenne sauce, chipotle aioli, limes for juicing etc.

Cooking Instructions

When ready, preheat oven to 425 degrees F (220 degrees C).

Heat a large skillet on medium heat. Add Extra-Virgin Olive Oil (2 Tbsp) . Add Poblano Peppers (2) and Scallions (1/4 cup) to skillet. Add Ground Cumin (1 tsp) and stir in.

Add Tyson® Chicken Breasts (8 oz) to skillet and Salt (to taste) and Ground Black Pepper (to taste) lightly. Squeeze a half of a Lime (1) into the skillet. Slice the remaining of the lime in two to four wedges for serving on a plate.

Fry chicken until golden brown on all sides and done in the center when cut open. Remove skillet from heat.

On a sheet pan, lay one TortillaLand® Flour Tortillas (4) down and spread about one fourth of the Shredded Mexican Cheese Blend (3 cups) on the tortilla. Next, continue with a layer of half of the chicken filling. Finish off tortilla with another layer of cheese.

Lay another tortilla on top to finish that quesadilla. Repeat assembly for remaining quesadilla. Bake until cheese is melted and tortillas are crispy brown, for around 12 to 15 minutes.

Cut tortilla with a pizza cutter. Serve with Salsa (to taste) .

Author's Notes

For TortillaLand® Fresh Ready to Cook Tortillas:

1. Preheat a non-stick pan to medium heat (440ºF). No butter or oil required.

2. Place tortilla in a pan and cook for 30 seconds until slightly golden and tortilla begins to puff.

3. Turn tortillas over, and cook for an additional 30 seconds. Cook thoroughly before eating. Caution: tortilla will be hot. Enjoy!

Keep refrigerated until ready to use. Do not mix cooked and uncooked tortillas. Try cooking the tortillas on the grill or BBQ - grill tortillas until they have grill marks on both sides.
