CREAMY JALAPE O SAUCE
1/4 cup mayonnaise
2 tsp minced jalapeno slices (nacho slices)
2 tsp juice from jalapeno slices (nacho slices)
3/4 tsp sugar
1/2 tsp paprika
1/2 tsp cumin
1/8 tsp cayenne pepper
1/8 tsp garlic powder
1 dsh salt
QUESADILLAS
4 x chicken breast tenderloins
4 lrg flour tortillas - (10" dia)
1 cup shredded Cheddar cheese
1 cup shredded Monterey Jack cheese
2 slc American cheese
Method :
Prepare creamy jalapeno sauce by combining all ingredients in a small bowl.
Cover and chill so that flavors develop. Stir occasionally.
Preheat your barbecue grill to medium heat.
Rub chicken tenderloins with vegetable oil. Salt and pepper each side of each
tenderloin. Grill for 3 to 5 minutes per side. When chicken is done, slice it
very thin.
When you are ready to build your quesadillas, preheat a 12-inch skillet over
medium-low heat. When the pan is hot lay one tortilla in the pan. Arrange about
1/4 cup of shredded cheddar cheese and 1/4 cup of shredded jack cheese on half
of the tortilla.
Tear up half a slice of American cheese and arrange it on the other cheeses.
Arrange about 1/4 cup of sliced chicken over the cheese. Spread about 1
tablespoon of jalapeno sauce over the tortilla on the half with no ingredients
on it.
Fold the sauced-covered half of the tortilla over onto the ingredients on the
other half and press down with a spatula. Cook for about 1 minute, then turn the
quesadilla over and cook for a couple more minutes or until the cheese inside is
melted.
Slice into four pieces and serve hot. Repeat with the remaining ingredients.
This recipe yields 4 quesadillas.
