Time 50m

Yield 6 to 8 servings (1 1/3 cups salsa)

Number Of Ingredients 11

12 corn tortillas, preferably white
6 ounces Cheddar, Monterey Jack or Colby cheese, thinly sliced
1 tablespoon chopped pickled jalapenos
1 cup shredded cooked chicken (about 3 ounces)
4 tablespoons (1/2 stick) unsalted butter
1 pound vine-ripened tomatoes (about 2 tomatoes)
1/4 small red onion
2 to 3 tablespoons chopped cilantro
Hot sauce such as chipotle or Mexican green chili sauce to taste (1/2 teaspoon)
Kosher salt
1 Hass avocado, halved, seeded and sliced

Steps:

  • Lay 6 tortillas on the work surface, and divide the cheese, jalapenos and chicken among the tortillas. (It's best to leave about an inch border on the edge of the tortilla uncovered to allow for the spread of the melting cheese.) Top with remaining tortillas and press gently to seal. Melt 1 tablespoon butter in a small skillet. Carefully place a quesadilla in the skillet and fry, turning once, until golden and little bubbles appear on both sides, 4 to 5 minutes in all. Repeat with the remaining quesadillas, wiping out the pan between batches if the butter burns.
  • While the quesadillas cook, make the salsa: Halve the tomatoes and grate them on the largest holes of a box grater into a bowl, discarding the skins. Grate the onion into the tomato and stir in the cilantro, hot sauce and salt, to taste.
  • Cut quesadillas into 4 wedges with a pizza wheel or knife and serve with the salsa and avocado.

I thought these quesadillas were okay. The chicken chili filling was a bit bland and the cheese was not very flavorful. The tortillas were also a bit too thick.

These quesadillas were a bit too spicy for my taste, but my husband loved them!

I love quesadillas and these were some of the best I've ever had! The chicken chili filling was flavorful and the cheese was melted and gooey. The tortillas were also crispy and held up well to the filling.

These quesadillas were a bit too greasy for my taste. The chicken chili filling was also a bit bland.

I'm not a big fan of quesadillas, but these were actually pretty good! The chicken chili filling was flavorful and the cheese was melted and gooey. The tortillas were also crispy and held up well to the filling.

These quesadillas were easy to make and very tasty! I used a store-bought rotisserie chicken, which made it even easier. I will definitely be making these again.

These quesadillas were just okay. The chicken chili filling was a bit bland and the cheese was not very flavorful. The tortillas were also a bit too thick.

The quesadillas were delicious! The chicken chili filling was flavorful and the cheese was gooey and melted perfectly. The tortillas were crispy on the outside and chewy on the inside.

These quesadillas were a hit! The chicken chili and cheese filling was flavorful and cheesy, and the tortillas were crispy and golden brown. I especially liked that the recipe used rotisserie chicken, which made it quick and easy to make.
