Time 25m

Number Of Ingredients 15

For the chicken:
2 medium chicken breasts (boneless, skinless)
Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper
2 teaspoons olive oil (divided)
1 small onion (finely chopped (about 1/2 cup))
1 cup bell peppers (any color, diced)
3 garlic cloves (finely chopped)
1/2 cup tomatoes (diced)
2 tablespoons fajita or taco seasoning
For the quesadillas:
4 medium flour tortillas
1 avocado (seeded, and cut)
4 teaspoons low-fat tablespoons sour-cream
1/2 cup low-fat cup mozzarella (mexican blend, or cheddar cheese)
fresh lime juice and minced cilantro (optional)

Steps:

  • Heat a large heavy duty pan to high heat. Season the chicken breasts with salt and pepper. Place 1 tablespoon olive oil in pan. Add chicken breasts and cook for 5-6 minutes per side or until coked through. Remove from pan and set aside to rest.
  • In the same pan, add 1 tablespoon olive oil, the diced onion, bell pepper and garlic. Cook for 2-3 minutes or until softened. Add the tomatoes and fajita seasoning. Cook for 2 minutes or until tomatoes are softened. Dice the cooked chicken and return to the pan. Stir until mixture if fully combined.
  • To assemble:Add 1 teaspoon oil to a hot pan. Lay 2 tortillas on pan. Spread 1 teaspoon sour-cream over one side of each tortilla, top with cheese, avocado, chicken mixture and squeeze of lime and sprinkle of minced cilantro. Fold the tortillas over to cover the fillings and form a half-moon shape. Cook until the tortillas are crisp and golden and the cheese has melted, about 2-3 minutes on each side. Repeat to make 2 more quesadillas.
  • Cut the quesadillas into wedges. Serve with lime wedges, sour-cream, salsa or guacamole and enjoy immediately.

CHICKEN QUESADILLAS WITH AVOCADO-CUCUMBER SALSA



Chicken Quesadillas With Avocado-Cucumber Salsa image

There is one caveat when using leftover grilled meat. As the meat chills, the flavors recede, becoming quieter and mellower. For these quesadillas that I made out of Sunday's grilled chicken thighs, shredded and stuffed into a corn tortilla with a little cheese and quickly toasted, I stirred together a lime-zest-imbued cucumber and avocado salsa that added a welcome citrus edge.

Time 15m

Yield 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 13

1 avocado, peeled, pitted and diced small
2 Kirby cucumbers, peeled and diced small
2 tablespoons finely chopped red onion
1 1/2 tablespoons chopped fresh cilantro
1 1/2 teaspoons finely grated lime zest
1 tablespoon freshly squeezed lime juice
1/2 jalapeño, seeded, if desired, and finely chopped
1/4 teaspoon kosher salt
1/4 teaspoon black pepper
1/2 pound cooked chicken, shredded (about 1 1/3 cups)
1/4 pound Monterey Jack cheese, grated (about a cup)
8 6-inch corn tortillas
Olive oil, for brushing

Steps:

  • In a bowl, mix together the avocado, cucumbers, red onion, cilantro, lime zest, lime juice, jalapeño, salt and pepper.
  • Sandwich some of the chicken and cheese between two tortillas; repeat with the remaining chicken, cheese and tortillas. Brush the top and bottom of each quesadilla lightly with oil.
  • Heat a large, nonstick skillet over high heat until very hot. Cook the quesadillas, in batches, if necessary, until the cheese melts and the tortillas are crisp and golden, 1 1/2 to 2 minutes per side.
  • Cut into wedges and top with some of the salsa.
