Give average chicken quesadillas new life with sweet peaches and spicy cheese. For the kids, try fontina or Monterey Jack instead. Ingredients:
1 teaspoon honey |
1/2 teaspoon fresh lime juice |
1/2 cup reduced-fat sour cream |
4 (8-inch) flour tortillas |
3/4 cup (3 ounces) shredded monterey jack cheese with jalapeño peppers |
1 cup chopped skinless, boneless rotisserie chicken breast |
1 cup thinly sliced peeled firm ripe peaches |
4 teaspoons chopped fresh cilantro |
cooking spray |
Directions:
1. Combine honey and lime juice in a small bowl, stirring well with a whisk. Stir sour cream into honey mixture; cover and chill until ready to serve.
2. Place tortillas flat on a work surface. Sprinkle 3 tablespoons cheese over half of each tortilla; top each tortilla with 1/4 cup chicken, 1/4 cup peaches, and 1 teaspoon cilantro. Fold tortillas in half.
3. Heat a large nonstick skillet over medium-high heat. Coat pan with cooking spray. Place 2 quesadillas in the pan, and top quesadillas with a cast-iron or other heavy skillet. Cook 1 1/2 minutes on each side or until tortillas are crisp and lightly browned (leave cast-iron skillet on quesadillas as they cook). Remove quesadillas from pan; set aside, and keep warm. Repeat procedure with the remaining quesadillas. Cut each quesadilla into wedges. Serve with sauce.
