Yield 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 13

1 8-ounce package shredded coleslaw mix (about 4 cups)
Kosher salt
Juice of 1 lime
1 small clove garlic, finely chopped
1/2 cup packed fresh cilantro (leaves and tender stems), chopped
2 tablespoons vegetable oil
Freshly ground pepper
4 burrito-size tortillas
8 ounces pepper jack cheese, shredded (about 2 cups)
1 cup chopped rotisserie chicken, skin removed
2 tablespoons unsalted butter
1/2 small head iceberg lettuce, shredded (about 4 cups)
Mexican crema or sour cream, for topping

Steps:

  • Toss the coleslaw mix with 1/2 teaspoon salt in a large bowl and set aside. Whisk the lime juice, garlic, cilantro, vegetable oil, 1/4 teaspoon salt and a few grinds of pepper in a small bowl.
  • Lay out the tortillas and sprinkle the cheese on half of each. Season the chicken with salt and pepper and layer on top of the cheese. Fold the tortillas in half. Heat 1 tablespoon butter in a large nonstick skillet over medium heat. Add 2 quesadillas and cook, turning once, until browned and crisp and the cheese is melted, 5 to 7 minutes.

PEPPER JACK, CHICKEN AND PEACH QUESADILLAS



Pepper Jack, Chicken and Peach Quesadillas image

A delish and fast recipe using leftover chicken from Cooking Light August 2010. I really enjoyed these made with leftover turkey breast and I am sure chicken will be just as wonderful. They say, "Give average chicken quesadillas new life with sweet peaches and spicy cheese. For the kids, try Monterey Jack instead."
