Spicy Grilled Quesadillas

Cooking Instructions

Top each of 4 tortillas with 1/2 cup cheese, 1/4 cup salsa, 1/4 cup chicken and 2 tablespoons green onions. Brush the edges of the tortillas with water.  Top with the remaining tortillas and press the edges to seal.

Lightly oil the grill rack and heat the grill to medium. Brush the tops of the quesadillas with the oil. Place the quesadillas oil-side down on the grill rack. Brush the other side of the quesadillas with the oil.  Grill the quesadillas for 5 minutes or until the cheese is melted, turning the quesadillas over once during grilling. Remove the quesadillas from the grill and let stand 2 minutes.

Cut the quesadillas into wedges. Serve with the remaining salsa and sour cream.

Tip:  Quesadillas are an easy way to turn leftover meat and shredded cheese into a whole new meal.  You can even combine different varieties of shredded cheese to make the 2 cups needed in this recipe.

Serving Suggestion:  Serve with Spanish-style rice and fresh carrot sticks.  For dessert, serve fresh apple slices with prepared caramel sauce.
