Categories     Poultry Appetizers

Time 55m

Number Of Ingredients 8

4 8-inch flour tortillas
1 c mexican cheese blend
1 can(s) diced green chiles, drained
18 oz refrigerated barbecue sauce
2 c shredded chicken
1 c salsa
1/4 c sour cream
1/4 c sliced green onion

Steps:

  • 1. Take boneless chicken breast, wrap in foil and place in a glass bake pan. Bake for 40 minutes. Shred chicken with two forks and add to barbecue sauce. Spray the tortillas with cooking spray to keep them from sticking to the pan and make them a little crispier. Coat only one side and place (coated side down) on a cutting board or waxed paper. Sprinkle 1/4 cup of cheese over half of each tortilla. Top with green chiles and barbecue sauce with chicken. Fold tortillas in half, pressing gently. Preheat oven to 350. In a hot 10-inch skillet cook quesadillas, two at a time, over medium heat for 6 to 8 minutes or until golden brown, turning once. Place quesadillas on a baking sheet. Keep warm in preheated oven for up to 30 minutes. Repeat with remaining quesadillas. Cut each quesadilla into 3 wedges. Serve with salsa, sour cream, and green onion.
  • 2. Bacon, Tomato, & Avocado Quesadillas: Prepare as above, except substitute cheese for cheddar; use 8 crisp-cooked and crumbled bacon slices, 2 small seeded and coarsely chopped tomatoes, and 1 seeded, peeled, and chopped avocado for the filling. Omit the green chiles, barbecue sauce with chicken, salsa, sour cream, and green onion.

Tips:

  • Choose the right tortillas. Corn or flour tortillas can be used for quesadillas, but corn tortillas are more traditional. Look for tortillas that are fresh and pliable.
  • Shred your own cheese. Pre-shredded cheese can be used in a pinch, but freshly shredded cheese melts better and tastes better.
  • Don't overload the quesadillas. Too much filling will make them difficult to fold and cook evenly.
  • Cook the quesadillas over medium heat. This will help to prevent them from burning.
  • Serve the quesadillas immediately. They are best when they are hot and melted.

Conclusion:

Barbecue quesadillas are a delicious and easy-to-make meal that can be enjoyed by people of all ages. They are perfect for a quick lunch or dinner, or as a snack. With a variety of fillings to choose from, there is sure to be a barbecue quesadilla that everyone will love. So next time you are looking for a tasty and satisfying meal, give barbecue quesadillas a try!
