Steps:
- For chicken: In a small bowl, combine cumin, salt, pepper and cayenne. Rub chicken breasts with spice mixture. Grill chicken 6 minutes on each side or until tender. Remove from heat and thinly slice; set aside.
- For sautéed mushrooms: Heat butter in a sauté pan over medium heat. Add sliced mushrooms and onions. Season to taste with salt and pepper. Cook until mushrooms are soft. Remove from heat and set aside.
- For basil sour cream: Combine basil, garlic, salt and pepper in a food processor. Process until pureed. Mix into sour cream. Set aside.
- To assemble quesadillas: Pre-heat grill or griddle to 375 degrees Fahrenheit. Place tortillas on a flat surface. Generously sprinkle cheese onto one half of each tortilla. Combine chicken and mushrooms; divide evenly on top of the cheese. Sprinkle cheese on top of the chicken and mushroom mixture. Season to taste with salt and pepper.
- Fold each tortilla in half (creating a half circle shaped quesadilla). Cook each quesadilla about 4-6 minutes, until cheese is melted and the tortilla begins to brown and crisp. Flip tortilla and repeat about 4-6 minutes. Remove quesadilla from heat and cool about 30 seconds before cutting into 3 triangle slices. Serve with basil sour cream.

[email protected]The quesadillas were a bit bland for my taste, but I think that's because I didn't use enough cumin.

[email protected]I'm not a huge fan of cumin, so I used a different spice blend. The quesadillas were still good, but I think they would have been better with the cumin.

[email protected]I substituted the cheddar cheese for mozzarella and the basil sour cream for regular sour cream. The quesadillas were still delicious, but I think I prefer the original recipe.

[email protected]I followed the recipe exactly and the quesadillas turned out perfectly! The chicken was cooked to perfection and the cheese was melted and gooey. The basil sour cream added a nice tanginess that balanced out the richness of the cheese.
