Lynn's BBQ Shredded Chicken Quesadillas
8 x flour tortillas - (7 1/2" dia)
4 oz grated Monterey Jack cheese
8 oz shredded cooked barbecued chicken - (1 cup)
4 x scallions with 3" of green left on thinly sliced on
the diagonal
1 1/2 tbl chopped flat-leaf parsley
12 x fresh spinach leaves - (to 14) stems discarded,
washed and dried
4 oz grated Cheddar cheese
Method :
Place 4 tortillas on a work surface and sprinkle evenly with Jack cheese.
Scatter shredded chicken, scallions and parsley over top. Cover with spinach
leaves and sprinkle with Cheddar.
Place a second tortilla over each, creating a sandwich (quesadilla), and press
down on the tops with the palm of your hand.
Heat a dry, nonstick skillet over medium heat until very hot; add a quesadilla.
Pressing down with a spatula and turning once, cook until golden brown, 3 to 4
minutes a side. Keep warm in a low oven (250 degrees) until ready to serve.
Repeat with remaining quesadillas.
Cut quesadillas into quarters and serve hot with a bowl of salsa alongside, if
desired.
