Actually it is relatively healthy not everyone uses a lot of cheese or cheese at all, she made a statement that suited her and her family, not one to be judged by all of you health nuts.

These were pretty delicious! Made them according to recipe, and couldn't have been better.

I’m just gonna go on and say it! I used a green pepper, a yellow pepper, a yellow onion and followed the recipe and instructions to the letter-AND THESE WERE FREAKING DELICIOUS! Thank you for the recipe and one of our family’s new favorite foods! Yummmmmmm

This recipe is for keeps! My first time making it and hubs says it's way better than the ones in the restaurants!

Very easy and very flavorful.  Used cheddar and Buffalo chicken spiced cheese.  Yummy!!

Oh, this is so good! I used a bit less cheese but otherwise followed the recipe exactly. Delicious! Thanks so much for sharing it.

Best Quesadillas I’ve ever had...or made.  I used packaged, cooked chicken breasts from Costco.  Just added the chicken and spices to the peppers and onions,  so yummy.  I will definitely keep this recipe and make it again.

Delicious!! Loved the seasoning on the chicken it really gave it that mexican flare. I shredded up the chicken to make it all flow together better. And I used a pre-shredded four cheese mexican blend but I am sure freshley shredded cheese would melt a lot easier and make the cheese and ingredients come together a lot nicer. Loved this! Will be making again!

Simple recipe.. easy to follow and delicious! Although I also added garlic powder to my chicken seasoning. Awesome recipe nonetheless!

Chicken, peppers, and delicious caramelized onions take this quesadilla from good to great.

Cheesy Chicken Quesadillas

extra large tortillas

chicken breasts

Mexican blend shredded cheese

onion

cilantro, chopped

brown sugar

butter

Tablespoon smoked paprika

orange juice

Tablespoons lime juice

lemon juice

Cut up the chicken breasts into small, thin pieces and put inside a plastic gallon bag.

Pour in the orange juice, lime juice, and lemons juice with the chicken.

Put in the refrigerator and marinate for 2-3 hours.

Add a small amount of olive oil to a big pan on the stovetop over high heat. Add the chicken along with the marinating juices.

Cook the chicken until done about 8 minutes or so. Remove and let cool off to the side.  Shred the chicken when it has cooled off.

Chop up the cilantro and set aside.

Slice up the onions into small pieces and set aside.

Wipe out the pan you were using and add a little olive oil and butter to the pan over very low heat.

Add the onions and season with salt and smoked paprika.

Cook until onions are translucent and soft. Add the brown sugar and cook on low heat very slowly until they are caramelized.

Remove and set aside.

Clean out your pan completely and dry, or you can use a different clean pan.

Over a dry high heat, add one tortilla and add some cheese on the top.

Cook until the cheese starts to melt a bit.

Then add in some chicken, onions, and cilantro. Make sure to divide your ingredients to make 4 Quesadillas.

Add some more cheese over the top and then another tortilla to close it up.

Cook on each side until it is nice and browned and the cheese has melted.

Slice the tortilla into quarters.

Fluffy, crispy, with a cheesy and flavorful filling. Those fried quesadillas are to die for!

Quesadillas Fritas

masa harina

water

tsp baking powder

salt

string cheese (Oaxaca, asadero, mozzarella, etc.)

fillings you prefer (read notes)

oil needed)

lettuce (shredded)

onions (sliced)

queso

Mexican cream

salsa (read notes)

Place masa harina in a bowl. Add salt, and baking powder.

Mix and knead the flour with lukewarm water until you’ll have a smooth dough that resembles play dough.

Heat about 2-inch oil in a large frying pan over medium heat.

Pinch the dough to get a portion and roll it into a ball about the size of a golf ball.

Using a tortilla press or a heavy dish, press a dough ball between the two plastic sheets to make a thin tortilla.

Peel the sheet on top and add the filling and some cheese in the middle.

Carefully, fold the tortilla into a half-moon. Press a little bit on the edges to stick them together.

Remove the last plastic sheet and place the raw quesadilla on your hand, then carefully add it to the hot oil.

Repeat the steps adding as many quesadillas fit in your pan.

Fry quesadillas for 5-6 minutes flipping them once. Baste with oil the uncooked side so it will seal and make it easier to flip over.

As they finish cooking, transfer them to a paper lined plate.

Repeat until all masa dough is used.

Arrange the fried quesadillas in a serving plate.

Top with lettuce, onions, and then add cheese and cream on top.

Serve with a bowl of your favorite salsa on the side so everyone can add as much as they want.

Serve

Used leftover calabacitas from your recipe to make these quesadillas fritas, and they were DELICIOUS! Thank you for the easy recipe, love how you explain the preparation and all tips.

Such a fun recipe and perfect to use leftovers! I know (kinda! haha) how to make tortillas and I even own a tortilla press that my husband gifted to me some years ago. Can't wait to try this recipe!
