Sides

Method

Preparation of Chicken and Vegetables

  1. 1

    Grill the Chicken

    Preheat the grill to medium-high heat. Season the chicken breasts with salt and pepper. Grill for about 6-7 minutes on each side or until fully cooked. Remove from grill and let rest for a few minutes before slicing into thin strips.

  2. 2

    Sauté the Onions and Jalapeños

    In a skillet, heat a little oil over medium heat. Add the sliced onions and jalapeños. Sauté until the onions are translucent and the jalapeños are tender, about 5-7 minutes. Remove from heat.

Preparation of Chipotle Aioli

  1. 3

    Mix Aioli Ingredients

    In a bowl, combine mayonnaise, minced chipotle peppers, minced garlic, lime juice, and salt. Mix well until smooth. Adjust salt to taste. Set aside.

Assembling the Quesadilla

  1. 4

    Layer the Ingredients

    On one half of each flour tortilla, layer the grilled chicken strips, sautéed onions, jalapeños, and a generous amount of Monterey Jack cheese.

  2. 5

    Add Chipotle Aioli

    Drizzle some chipotle aioli over the layered ingredients.

  3. 6

    Fold and Cook

    Fold the tortilla over to create a half-moon shape. Heat a clean skillet over medium heat. Cook each quesadilla for about 3-4 minutes on each side until the tortillas are golden brown and the cheese is melted. Remove from skillet and cut into wedges.

Preparation of Guacamole

  1. 7

    Prepare Guacamole

    In a bowl, mash the avocados with lime juice and salt until desired consistency is reached. Set aside.

Serving

  1. 8

    Plate the Quesadilla

    Serve the quesadilla wedges with a side of sour cream, house-made guacamole, and ranchero sauce.
