Carlasbaconandchickenquesadillas Recipes

Steps:

• Preheat the broiler. Grease a baking sheet.
• Toss the chicken with the fajita seasoning, then spread onto the baking sheet. Place under the broiler and cook until the chicken pieces are no longer pink in the center, about 5 minutes.
• Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C).
• Heat the oil in a large saucepan over medium heat. Stir in the green bell peppers, red bell peppers, onion, and chicken. Cook and stir until the vegetables have softened, about 10 minutes.
• Layer half of each tortilla with the chicken and vegetable mixture, then sprinkle with the Cheddar cheese, bacon bits, and Monterey Jack. Fold the tortillas in half and Place onto a baking sheet.
• Bake quesadillas in the preheated oven until the cheeses have melted, about 10 minutes.

Steps:

• Lay 6 tortillas on the work surface, and divide the cheese, jalapenos and chicken among the tortillas. (It's best to leave about an inch border on the edge of the tortilla uncovered to allow for the spread of the melting cheese.) Top with remaining tortillas and press gently to seal. Melt 1 tablespoon butter in a small skillet. Carefully place a quesadilla in the skillet and fry, turning once, until golden and little bubbles appear on both sides, 4 to 5 minutes in all. Repeat with the remaining quesadillas, wiping out the pan between batches if the butter burns.
• While the quesadillas cook, make the salsa: Halve the tomatoes and grate them on the largest holes of a box grater into a bowl, discarding the skins. Grate the onion into the tomato and stir in the cilantro, hot sauce and salt, to taste.
• Cut quesadillas into 4 wedges with a pizza wheel or knife and serve with the salsa and avocado.

Steps:

• In a large bowl, combine the flour, salt and baking powder. Cut in shortening until crumbly. Add enough warm water, stirring until mixture forms a ball. Let stand for 10 minutes. Divide into 28 portions. , On a lightly floured surface, roll each portion into a 7-in. circle. Cook on a lightly greased griddle for 1-1/2 to 2 minutes on each side, breaking any bubbles with a toothpick if necessary. Keep warm., In a large bowl, combine cheeses. For each quesadilla, place a tortilla on the griddle; sprinkle with about 2 tablespoons cheese mixture, 2 tablespoons chicken, 1 tablespoon onions, 1 tablespoon olives and 1 teaspoon chilies. Top with 1 tablespoon cheese mixture and another tortilla. , Cook for 30-60 seconds; turn and cook 30 seconds longer or until cheese is melted. Cut into wedges. Serve with salsa and sour cream.

Steps:

• Place one tortilla in fry pan sprayed with cooking spray.
• Scoop one tablespoon of salsa onto tortilla and spread over to cover it (not too much).
• Layer 1/2 each of the cheese, chicken and green onion.
• Place another tortilla on top, spray tortilla with cooking spray.
• Heat until golden brown, then turn over and brown other side.
• Repeat with remaining tortillas and ingredients.
• Slice in pie wedges.
• Serve with salsa.

Steps:

• Heat a pan and lightly coat it with oil. Once the oil is heated, add garlic, salt and pepper and cook until garlic is lightly golden. Add the chicken and cook until done. Pour in tomatoes and reduce until there is no liquid and it has a paste consistency. Add in the green onions. Spoon the chicken mixture into a tortilla. Sprinkle with cheese and wrap. Place in a 500 degree F oven and cook until the cheese is melted and the tortilla is lightly golden.

Steps:

• In a large skillet, combine the first 6 ingredients. Cook, uncovered, over medium heat until heated through, about 10 minutes, stirring occasionally. , Brush 1 side of tortillas with butter; place buttered side down on a lightly greased baking sheet. Spoon 1/3 cup chicken mixture over half of each tortilla; sprinkle with 1/3 cup cheese. , Fold plain side of tortilla over cheese. Bake at 375° until crisp and golden brown, 9-11 minutes. Cut into wedges; serve with sour cream and guacamole.

Steps:

• Broil the chicken for about 5 minutes on each side, or until no longer pink inside. Cool and then shred or cube the chicken. (I have found the slicer in my salad shooter works great for this!).
• Mix chicken, salsa and cheese in a bowl.
• Place 1/10th of the mixture on half of the tortilla, fold over and press down slightly to "seal". You can moisten the edges with water to help the edges seal but I usually don't. I've found pressing firmly so that the tortilla sticks to the mixtures works fine.
• Bake at 400°F for about 5 minutes or until tortillas start to brown.
• Serve with additional salsa, sour cream, or guacamole for dipping.
• Goes well with refried beans and/or Spanish Rice.
