Barbecue Quesadillas
Ingredients
  • Nonstick cooking spray
  • 4
    7 - 8 inches flour tortillas
  • 1
    cup shredded extra-sharp cheddar cheese or Mexican cheese blend (4 ounces)
  • 1
    4 ounce can diced green chiles, drained
  • 1
    18 ounce tub refrigerated barbecue sauce with shredded chicken (2 cups)
  • 1
    cup bottled salsa
  • 1/4
    cup dairy sour cream
  • 1/4
    cup sliced green onion (2)
Directions

1. Coat one side of each tortilla with cooking spray. Place, coated sides down, on cutting board or waxed paper. Sprinkle 1/4 cup of the cheese over half of each tortilla. Top with green chiles and barbecue sauce with chicken. Fold tortillas in half, pressing gently.

2. Preheat oven to 350. In a hot 10-inch skillet cook quesadillas, two at a time, over medium heat for 6 to 8 minutes or until golden brown, turning once. Place quesadillas on a baking sheet. Keep warm in preheated oven for up to 30 minutes. Repeat with remaining quesadillas. Cut each quesadilla into 3 wedges. Serve with salsa, sour cream, and green onion. Makes 4 servings.

Just made this for dinner. I made my own chicken by poaching it, shredding it in a food processor, then mixing it with BBQ sauce. Added carmelized onions, cheddar cheese. Did not add salsa or sour cream- doesn't need them. Served with a fresh salad, it was a great summer dinner! A nice twist on BBQ chicken for sure.

This recipe sounded "interesting" to my family. I used chicken strips. Sadly the combination of BBQ sauce & salsa was just weird. Not a keeper.

Tried this recipe and it was a hit with the whole family. We had it for our 27 yr old son, who comes home for his b'day every year. Will be putting this one in my "recipe book"
