Cooking Instructions

  1. 1

    Prepare the Filling

    In a mixing bowl, combine the shredded chicken with tamarind BBQ sauce until well coated. Stir in the crumbled bacon and pickled jalapeños.

  2. 2

    Assemble the Quesadilla

    Lay a tortilla flat on a clean surface. Spread a portion of the chicken mixture on one half of the tortilla. Sprinkle with shredded cheese, then fold the other half over to cover the filling.

  3. 3

    Cook the Quesadilla

    Heat 1 tablespoon of olive oil in a skillet over medium heat. Place the folded quesadilla in the skillet and cook for about 3-4 minutes on each side, or until golden brown and the cheese is melted. Repeat with remaining tortillas.

  4. 4

    Serve

    Cut the quesadillas into wedges and serve warm with extra tamarind BBQ sauce on the side for dipping.
