Steps:

• In a large skillet, heat the remaining butter over medium heat. Add the sliced onions and pepper and cook over medium-low heat, stirring occasionally, until translucent and caramelized (about 7-8 minutes). Remove skillet from heat.
• While onions and peppers are cooking, brush enchilada sauce over each of the baked tortillas. Top with sauteed onions and peppers,chicken, tomatoes, and sprinkle with cheese.
• Place is back in the oven and cook for 4-5 more minutes, until the cheese has melted. Remove from oven and garnish with fresh cilantro, sour cream, and/or salsa. Enjoy!

CHICKEN ENCHILADA QUESADILLAS

Steps:

• Preheat your oven to 425 F degrees.
• In a medium size bowl add the shredded chicken, corn, black beans, enchilada sauce and toss everything well.
• Take a large tortilla and add about 1/4 of the chicken and spread it over half of the tortilla. Sprinkle with 1/4 of Monterey Jack cheese. Garnish with cilantro and green onions. Fold in half and press down gently. Repeat with the remaining ingredients.
• Place the quesadillas on a baking sheet and place the baking sheet in the oven. Bake for about 8 to 10 minutes, turning them over half way through if necessary. With my oven they crisped up on the bottom as well so I didn't need to flip them over, but all ovens are different.
• Remove the quesadillas from the oven, cut in half and serve with sour cream or guacamole if preferred.

10 MINUTE ENCHILADA QUESADILLAS

Steps:

• Add the chicken to a bowl. Open the can of enchilada sauce and pour some over the chicken. I used not quite half the can. (Keep in mind you need the rest for dipping, so don't go crazy.) Stir the chicken to coat.
• Let the mixture sit for a few minutes so that the sauce has a chance to get friendly with the chicken.
• Meanwhile, heat a large skillet over medium heat.
• Add 1 teaspoon butter to the pan. Or don't. It's delicious to use butter, but you will still get a nice crispy quesadilla on a dry pan.
• Place one tortilla on the hot pan and immediately sprinkle with cheese. Anywhere between 1/4 and 1/2 cup is fine.
• Use a spoon to add some of the chicken on top of the cheese. Spread evenly. Sprinkle on some chopped cilantro if you want.
• Sprinkle with more cheese, 1/4 to 1/2 cup, depending on how much of a cheese fanatic you are.
• Top with another tortilla.
• Continue cooking over medium heat until the bottom is light brown and crispy. Use a spatula to flip the quesadilla, and repeat on the other side.
• Repeat with the remaining ingredients.
• Serve with the remaining enchilada sauce for dipping. You can heat it up in the microwave if you want, or serve room temperature.
• Serve with chopped cilantro and sliced avocado.
