Active Time : 35 Minutes
Total Time : 35 Minutes
Serves : 6
INGREDIENTS
  • 4 tablespoons Pure Wesson® Corn Oil, divided
  • 3/4 pound boneless skinless chicken breasts, cut into 1/2-inch pieces
  • 1 can (10 oz each) Ro*Tel® Original Diced Tomatoes & Green Chilies, drained
  • 1 tablespoon chopped fresh cilantro
  • 6 8 inch flour tortillas
  • 1-1/2 1-1/2 cups = 6 oz cups shredded Pepper Jack cheese
  • 1/2 medium avocado, pitted, peeled, chopped
  • Lime wedges, pico de gallo and sour cream, optional
DIRECTIONS

Heat 1 tablespoon of the oil in large nonstick skillet over medium-high heat until hot. Add half of the chicken. Cook and stir 3 to 5 minutes or until liquid evaporates and chicken browns. Remove from skillet; set aside. Repeat with 1 more tablespoon of the oil and the remaining chicken.

Place all chicken into skillet; stir in drained tomatoes and cilantro. Heat through. Place chicken mixture in medium bowl. Wipe skillet clean.

Place tortillas on flat surface. Spread equal amounts of chicken mixture on 1/2 of each tortilla. Top chicken mixture with cheese, then avocado pieces. Fold other half of each tortilla over filling.

Brush the top of each quesadilla with oil. Heat skillet over medium-high heat about 1 minute. Place oiled side of tortilla down into skillet. Brush exposed side of tortilla with oil.

Cook each quesadilla about 1 minute per side or until cheese melts and tortilla is slightly crisp. Serve with lime, pico de gallo and sour cream, if desired.
