CHICKEN QUESADILLAS WITH AVOCADO-CUCUMBER SALSA
There is one caveat when using leftover grilled meat. As the meat chills, the flavors recede, becoming quieter and mellower. For these quesadillas that I made out of Sunday's grilled chicken thighs, shredded and stuffed into a corn tortilla with a little cheese and quickly toasted, I stirred together a lime-zest-imbued cucumber and avocado salsa that added a welcome citrus edge.

Steps:
- In a bowl, mix together the avocado, cucumbers, red onion, cilantro, lime zest, lime juice, jalapeño, salt and pepper.
- Sandwich some of the chicken and cheese between two tortillas; repeat with the remaining chicken, cheese and tortillas. Brush the top and bottom of each quesadilla lightly with oil.
- Heat a large, nonstick skillet over high heat until very hot. Cook the quesadillas, in batches, if necessary, until the cheese melts and the tortillas are crisp and golden, 1 1/2 to 2 minutes per side.
- Cut into wedges and top with some of the salsa.

CHICKEN QUESADILLAS WITH FRUIT SALSA AND AVOCADO CREAM
From Cooking Light July 1998. Goes with recipe #398851 and recipe #398849. These are a quick quesadilla to throw together. All of my family enjoys these. I usually skip the fruit salsa and avocado cream unless I am serving them to guests. I prefer serving it with sliced avocado.
