Cullen's Chicken Breast Mesquite Marinade BBQ Quesadillas
1 x boneless chicken breast
1/3 cup sliced red bell pepper
1/3 cup sliced green bell pepper
1/3 cup sliced Spanish onion
2 lrg fat-free flour tortillas - (12" dia)
1 1/3 cup shredded Monterey Jack cheese
MESQUITE MARINADE
1/2 cup water
1 tsp mesquite-flavored liquid smoke
1/2 tsp salt
1 dsh freshly-ground black pepper
SPICY BBQ SAUCE
1/2 cup Bull's-Eye Original BBQ Sauce
1/4 tsp cayenne pepper
1 dsh chili powder
Method :
Prepare the marinade by combining the ingredients in a medium bowl. Add chicken
breast fillet to the bowl, cover, and chill for one hour.
When the chicken is finished marinating, preheat your grill to high temperature.
As grill is heating, prepare the spicy BBQ Sauce by mixing the ingredients in a
small bowl.
Throw the chicken on the grill and cook it for 4 to 5 minutes per side or until
it's done. When the chicken is done cooking, chop it into bite-size pieces.
Spray a light coating of nonstick cooking spray on a medium skillet over medium
heat. Saute the sliced peppers and onion in the pan for 4 to 5 minutes or until
the veggies start to brown.
Set a large skillet over medium-low heat. Put one flour tortilla in the skillet
and sprinkle 1/3 cup of cheese over half of the tortilla. Spoon half of the
vegetables over the cheese, followed by half of the chicken.
Spoon a generous portion of the spicy BBQ sauce over the chicken, followed by
another 1/3 cup of cheese. Fold the other side of the tortilla over the filling,
and press down so that it stays in place.
By this time, the cheese on the bottom should be melted. If not, wait another
minute or so, then flip the quesadilla over and heat for another couple minutes
or until all of the cheese has melted.
Slide the quesadilla onto a plate and slice it into 4 pieces. Repeat for the
second quesadilla and serve immediately with salsa on the side.
