CHICKEN QUESADILLAS

Steps:

• Heat 1 tablespoon of the olive oil in a skillet over high heat. Sprinkle the chicken with salt, pepper and taco seasoning. Add the chicken to the skillet and saute over medium-high heat until done, about 4 minute per side. Remove from the skillet and dice into cubes. Set aside.
• Add the remaining 1 tablespoon olive oil to the skillet over high heat. Throw in the onions and peppers and cook until the peppers have a few dark brown/black areas, 3 to 4 minutes. Remove and set aside.
• Sizzle 1/2 tablespoon of the butter in a separate skillet or griddle over medium heat and lay a flour tortilla in the skillet. Then build the quesadillas by laying grated cheese on the bottom tortilla, and then arranging the chicken and cooked peppers. Top with a little more grated cheese and top with a second tortilla.
• When the tortilla is golden on the first side, carefully flip the quesadilla to the other side, adding another 1/2 tablespoon butter to the skillet at the same time. Continue cooking until the second side is golden. Repeat with the remaining tortillas and fillings.
• Cut each quesadilla into wedges and serve with Pico de Gallo.
• Dice up equal quantities of tomatoes and onions. Roughly chop the cilantro.
• Now, slice 1 or 2 jalapenos in half. With a spoon, scrape out the seeds. (If you like things spicy, leave in some of the white membranes.) Dice the jalapenos very finely; you want a hint of heat and jalapeno flavor, but you don't want to cause any fires. Now dump the four ingredients into a bowl.
• Slice the lime in half and squeeze the juice from half the lime into the bowl. Sprinkle with salt, and stir together until combined. Be sure to taste the pico de gallo and adjust the seasonings, adding salt or more diced jalapeno if needed.

BASIC QUESADILLAS

Steps:

• Heat a skillet over medium heat, and add 1/2 teaspoon oil. When oil is hot, place 1 tortilla in pan; sprinkle with 1/4 cup grated cheese, 1/4 cup filling, if using, and another 1/4 cup grated cheese. Top with second tortilla, and cook until cheese is melting and the bottom of tortilla is golden brown. Flip, and cook until golden on both sides, the cheese is melted, and the filling hot.
• To serve, cut quesadillas into wedges, and serve with sour cream, salsa, and guacamole on the side, if desired. Repeat with the remaining ingredients, serving each quesadilla hot from the pan.

NIF'S VERY BASIC CHEESE QUESADILLAS

Steps:

• Place one tortilla in a nonstick pan and set on stove with the burner off. Sprinkle with cheddar cheese and taco seasoning.
• Turn heat to medium and place other tortilla on top. After about 5 minutes, gently lift edge of quesadilla to see if bottom tortilla is starting to brown. It should take a little longer, but keep a close eye on it. When it is a light golden colour, slide quesadilla on to a plate.
• Flip quesadilla into the pan and brown other side, checking frequently. Slide on to a cutting board. Let sit for a couple of minutes and then cut into quarters.

YOUR BASIC QUESADILLA

Steps:

• In a pan skillet large enough to hold one of the tortillas flat, melt ½ of the butter.
• Fry one side of one of the tortillas, then remove it from the pan.
• Put the rest of the butter in the pan, then put the unfried tortilla in to cook.
• Immediately sprinkle the cheese on top of the tortilla in the pan, then top with the previously fried tortilla, browned side up.
• Press them together with a spatula and fry the quesadilla until the cheese is melted.
• Remove it from the pan and cut in wedges like a pizza.
• Top with sour cream and/or salsa.
• Enjoy!
