Easy Chipotle Chicken Quesadilla Recipe
I love Mexican food. It can be homemade or out on the town, we love it all! And this Easy Chicken Chipotle Quesadilla Recipe is a home run! With a touch of honey, yes, I said honey, it has a unique and wonderful flavor!
When making dishes at home, there are times when I have to make a dish several times before it is better or as good as what we can get at a restaurant. I have to say this recipe that I originally found at Babbling with Brooke, hits the spot and is truly one of the best quesadillas I have ever made at home.
Variations
I did not stray too much from the original recipe because I thought it was so good. But I did have fresh Poblano peppers and decided to use those. I will always choose fresh over canned whenever possible. The peppers made these extra special and tasty!
Easy Chipotle Chicken Quesadilla Recipe
Ingredients
- 3 cups Shredded Chicken *I used a rotisserie chicken
- 3 tbsp Olive Oil
- 1/2 large Onion, chopped
- 2 tsp Minced Garlic
- 1 14.5 oz can Diced Tomatoes
- 2 large Poblano Peppers *or Jalapeno
- 3 tbsp Honey
- 1/2 cup Chopped Cilantro
- 4 cups Shredded Mexican Blend Cheese
- 6 10 inch Round Tortillas
Instructions
- In a large frying pan over high heat, pour olive oil in the center of pan. Add onions and garlic and cook for 1-2 minutes. Then add peppers and tomatoes.
- Once most of the liquid from the tomatoes evaporates, add chicken, honey and cilantro. Mix until thoroughly combined. Reduce heat to low.
- In a separate frying pan, over high heat, spray with nonstick cooking spray. Once hot, lay a tortilla on the pan and cook slightly until warm, not crispy. Then add chicken filling to one side of the tortilla and 2/3 cup of shredded cheese on top.
- Fold the other half of the tortilla over the cheese and chicken mixture. Cook until the tortilla is crisp and golden. Then flip to the other side and cook until crisp and golden.
- Repeat with remaining tortillas and mixture.
- Garnish with sour cream, guacamole, diced tomatoes and fresh cilantro! Then enjoy!
