Time 25m

Number Of Ingredients 15

1 onion (finely diced)
1 red bell pepper (seeds removed, finely diced )
1 yellow bell pepper (seeds removed, finely diced )
2 garlic cloves (crushed)
1-2 tsp jalapeno (finely chopped (to taste))
1 tsp chilli flakes
1-2 tbsp taco seasoning ((to taste))
2 tsp dried oregano
4 cups shredded chicken
1 cup grated mozzarella cheese
1 cup grated cheddar cheese
2 tbsp fresh coriander / cilantro (finely chopped)
4 large flour tortillas
Salsa
Sour cream

Steps:

  • Heat a tablespoon of oil in a frying pan then saute the onion, bell peppers, garlic and jalapeno for 2-3 minutes until the onion starts to soften.
  • Add the seasonings and cook for another minute.
  • Add the shredded chicken and stir to coat the chicken in all the aromatics. Remove from the heat and allow to cool to room temperature. (The filling can be made up to 2 days in advance and kept in a sealed container in the fridge.)
  • Once cooled, add the cheese and cilantro/coriander and stir well to combine.
  • Heat a large frying pan over medium heat. Place one tortilla in the pan, add filling to half of the tortilla then fold over the rest. I like to cook two quesadillas, side-by-side to make cooking time a little quicker.
  • Cover with a lid and cook for 1-2 minutes per side until golden brown on both sides with the cheese completely melted.
  • Remove from the pan, allow to cool for a minute then slice into wedges.
  • Serve the quesadillas with sour cream, salsa and guacamole for dipping.

EASY SPICY CHICKEN QUESADILLAS



Easy Spicy Chicken Quesadillas image

I know there are several recipes out there for this item, but my family swears by this one (we even served at Christmas Eve one year and it was a crowd pleaser). To make this recipe even faster, you can use the rotisserie chicken's from the grocery store, or in a pinch, poach the chicken breasts in salted water for 10-15 minutes.

Time 30m

Yield 4 Quesadillas, 4-6 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 20

2 large skinless chicken breasts, cooked and shredded
1 teaspoon vegetable oil
1 green bell pepper, chopped
1 (16 ounce) can black beans (drained)
1 teaspoon lime juice
1/2 white onion, chopped
1 garlic clove, minced
1 large jalapeno pepper, chopped (leave the ribs and seeds in if you want this hot)
1 fresh ripe tomatoes, chopped
3 green onions, chopped (separate the whites and greens)
2 tablespoons chopped fresh cilantro
1/4 teaspoon cumin
1/4 teaspoon smoked paprika
6 fajita-sized flour tortillas
2 cups grated cheese (Colby jack, cheddar, whatever you prefer)
poultry seasoning
1/2 teaspoon cumin
1/2 teaspoon smoked paprika
1/2 teaspoon ground red pepper
salt

Steps:

  • In a bowl, mix the shredded chicken and spices (cumin, paprika, red pepper, salt) and set aside.
  • Into a medium frying pan at medium/medium-high heat add your oil, green bell pepper, white onion, jalapeno, garlic, and black beans. Cook until the black beans soften slightly and the garlic is fragrant (about 3-5 minutes). Add tomatoes, whites of the green onions, cilantro, cumin, and paprika. Stir to combine and take off the heat.
  • To assemble, spray a large frying pan with non-stick spray (grill pan or griddle will work well) set to medium/medium-high heat and place a single tortilla in the middle.
  • Sprinkle a thin layer of cheese (about 3 tablespoons) over the surface, add a layer of the vegetable mix (about 3 tablespoons) to half the tortilla, and the same amount of your shredded chicken to the same half, finally sprinkle over about a teaspoon of your reserved un-cooked green onions. Apply another 3 tablespoons of cheese to the top, cover and allow to melt for about 2-3 minutes.
  • Using a spatula, flip the un-topped half over the topped half, pressing lightly, cover and cook another 2-3 minutes so all the cheese has melted and the tortilla is crispy.
  • Continue until all your veggie and chicken mixes are used up. Setting your finished quesadillas on a cooling rack in the oven set to low. When ready to serve, cut with a pizza cutter into slices and enjoy! These are great with a side of sour cream and/or guacamole.
