Preparation Instructions

  1. 1

    Caramelize the Onions

    In a skillet over medium heat, add olive oil and sliced onions. Cook, stirring occasionally, until the onions are soft and caramelized, about 15-20 minutes.

  2. 2

    Prepare the Chicken Filling

    In a bowl, combine the shredded smoked chicken with BBQ sauce, mixing thoroughly until the chicken is well coated.

  3. 3

    Assemble the Quesadillas

    Lay out a flour tortilla and layer half of the jack cheese, half of the smoked Gouda cheese, a portion of the BBQ chicken mixture, caramelized onions, sliced avocado, pickled jalapeños, and a spoonful of pico de gallo. Top with the remaining cheese and another tortilla.

  4. 4

    Grill the Quesadillas

    Heat a non-stick skillet or griddle over medium heat. Place the assembled quesadilla in the skillet and cook for about 3-4 minutes on each side, or until the tortilla is golden brown and the cheese is melted. Repeat with remaining tortillas.

  5. 5

    Serve

    Cut the quesadillas into wedges and serve hot with additional pico de gallo on the side.
