PEPPER JACK, CHICKEN AND PEACH QUESADILLAS
A delish and fast recipe using leftover chicken from Cooking Light August 2010. I really enjoyed these made with leftover turkey breast and I am sure chicken will be just as wonderful. They say, "Give average chicken quesadillas new life with sweet peaches and spicy cheese. For the kids, try Monterey Jack instead."

EASY PEPPER JACK CHEESE QUESADILLAS
These quesadillas are quick to assemble and delicious! They are filled with pepperjack cheese and tomatoes. I made these to serve along side my Easy Tex-Mex Tomato Soup, but they could also be served as an appetizer or a small lunch or snack.

Steps:
- To assemble quesadilla, place one tortilla on a dinner plate. Arrange sliced cheese atop tortilla, leaving at least 1/2 inch space from the edge of the tortilla. Arrange sliced tomatoes atop cheese layer followed by another layer of cheese (remaining). Top with remaining tortilla.
- While assembling the quesadillas, preheat an electric griddle to 350 F (or grill to medium-high heat). I use a griddle (rather than a grill) to cook quesadillas, as it is easier to turn them without losing their insides.
- Brush 1 tbs. olive oil onto the griddle, covering the surface. Brush the remaining 1 tbs. olive oil onto the top exposed tortilla. Gently slide the quesadilla from the dinner plate onto the griddle (olive oil-less side down).
- Cook for 5-7 minutes or until bottom tortilla begins to brown. With a large spatula, gently but swiftly turn quesadilla to brown other side. Cook for 5-7 minutes or until bottom tortilla begins to brown. Remove to a cutting board and allow to cool for 5 minutes.
- Slice into quarters and serve immediately with garnish of your preference. I like to use sour cream, salsa or guacamole. For this particular recipe, I served it with my Easy Tex-Mex Tomato Soup.

CHICKEN QUESADILLAS
This is a great recipe for parties. I freeze the leftovers; they reheat quite well. The zesty chicken and cooked peppers are a succulent delight when mixed with the melted cheeses. Cut the quesadillas into wedges and serve with sour cream and salsa.
