Because this is one of the few things my wife's daughters like, I cook these quesadillas at least once a month. They're easy and you don't need a special pan.
Ingredients: (makes 8 quesadillas to feed 2-3 people)
Two (2) burrito size flour tortillas
Shredded Taco cheese (8 oz package)
Fajita style chicken breast strips (6 oz package)
Vegetable oil 1/4 cup
Chunky salsa
Sour cream
In a 12" skillet or fry pan, heat oil over medium heat (3-4 on dial) until hot. Place a paper towel on a large cutting board. Place chicken breast strips in a microwaveable dish and heat about two minutes on medium-high. Meanwhile, lay the tortillas on a flat surface and dress one tortilla with shredded cheese as shown.
Add the heated chicken strips on top of the shredded cheese as shown.
Place the second tortilla over the chicken and cheese and place carefully in the fry pan.
Cook tortillas in hot oil until golden brown and lightly crisp. Turn carefully and cook other side until done.
Place cooked quesadilla on paper towel and an another paper towel on top side to catch oil. Using a large chef knife, cut quesadilla in half, then quarters, and again until you have eight (8) wedges as shown.
Serve quesadillas with salsa and sour cream. This is great with yellow saffron rice and black beans on the side.
