Quesadilla Ingredients

Method

Cooking Instructions

  1. 1

    Marinate the Chicken

    In a bowl, combine the chicken breasts, chopped cilantro, lime juice, olive oil, salt, and black pepper. Marinate for at least 30 minutes to enhance the flavors.

  2. 2

    Cook the Chicken

    Heat a grill or skillet over medium heat. Cook the marinated chicken for about 6-7 minutes on each side or until fully cooked and juices run clear. Remove from heat and let it rest for a few minutes before slicing.

  3. 3

    Prepare the Quesadilla

    On one half of each tortilla, sprinkle a layer of shredded Colby Jack cheese. Top with sliced grilled chicken and another layer of cheese. Fold the tortillas in half.

  4. 4

    Grill the Quesadilla

    Heat a non-stick skillet over medium heat. Place the folded quesadilla in the skillet and cook for about 3-4 minutes on each side, or until the tortillas are golden brown and the cheese is melted. Remove from heat.

  5. 5

    Serve

    Cut the quesadillas into wedges and serve with sour cream, salsa fresca, and crushed avocado on the side.
