BBQ Chicken Quesadilla

Step 1

Start by thinly slicing your onion and bell pepper. I really like using a mandoline slicer

Step 2

Melt a tablespoon of your butter in a pan on medium heat and saute the onions and peppers until nice and soft. I like to cook them a good ten minutes so the onions just start to sweeten up without having to fully caramelize. Then remove from pan and set aside.

Step 3

In another pan or small pot, mix chicken, BBQ sauce, and lime juice. Heat on low heat, stirring occasionally.

Step 4

Lightly butter one side of a tortilla, then place butter side down in a large saute pan on medium heat.

Step 5

Quickly add cheese, BBQ chicken, peppers and onions, cilantro, and green onions to half of the tortilla. Fold the other half over so you have a semi circle.

Step 6

Cook the BBQ chicken quesadilla until the bottom is golden brown (just use your spatula to pick up a corner and peek at it) then carefully flip it over.

Step 7

Cook until that side is golden brown as well, then remove from pan.

Step 8

Repeat with remaining ingredients until you've made four BBQ chicken quesadillas.

Step 9

Cut into wedges and serve with additional BBQ sauce for dipping if desired.
