CHICKEN QUESADILLAS

By jarren

Ingredients

• 8 flour tortillas
• 1 tbsp olive oil
• 3/4 cup salsa
• 4 oz shredded chicken
• 1 cup shredded Monterrey Jack cheese (or combination of cheeses)
• 1 ripe avocado
• 1/4 cup chopped cilantro
• Extra salsa as accompaniment

Preparation

Step 1

Brush 4 flour tortillas with olive oil. Place oil side down, on a work surface. Divide 3/4 cup salsa among tortillas, spreading over surface.

Sprinkle with chicken, cheese, avocado and cilantro. Top with remaining tortillas, brush top with olive oil and press together firmly.

Using a large spatula to lift filled tortillas, carefully set on hot BBQ grill. Cook, turning once, until just browned and melted together, about 5 minutes in total.

Press quesadillas lightly with a spatula as they cook, to make sure they hold together. Alternatively, cook quesadillas one at a time in a non-stick skillet over medium-high heat, about 3 minutes per side, until golden.

Cut each quesadilla into 6 wedges and serve with the extra salsa
