From Cooking Light July 1998. Goes with Fruit Salsa and Avocado Cream. These are a quick quesadilla to throw together. All of my family enjoys these. I usually skip the fruit salsa and avocado cream unless I am serving them to guests. I prefer serving it with sliced avocado. Ingredients:
1 1/3 cups carrots, shredded |
1 cup green onion, thinly sliced |
4 ounces monterey jack pepper cheese, shredded and divided (1 cup) |
8 flour tortillas (8 inch) |
1 lb boneless skinless chicken breast, cooked and chopped, about 2 cups (can use a rotisserie chicken, just remove the skin and bones) |
1/2 cup fresh cilantro leaves |
Directions:
1. Place a large nonstick skillet coated with cooking spray over medium-high heat until hot. Add shredded carrot and onions; saute 5 minutes or until tender.
2. Sprinkle 2 tablespoons shredded cheese over each of 4 tortillas, and divide carrot mixture evenly over tortillas.
3. Top each tortilla with 1/2 cup chicken, 2 tablespoons cilantro leaves, and 2 tablespoons cheese, and top with a tortilla.
4. Place skillet coated with cooking spray over medium heat until hot. Add 1 quesadilla, and cook 2 minutes on each side or until quesadilla is browned. Repeat with the remaining quesadillas.
5. Cut each quesadilla into 6 wedges. Arrange 4 quesadilla wedges on each of 6 plates. Top each serving with 2/3 cup Fruit Salsa and about 3 tablespoons Avocado Cream.
