Chicken Quesadilla Ingredients

1 lbs Chicken thighs
2 cups Chihuahua cheese
2 tbsp Dad's taco seasoning
1 tbsp Olive oil
4 Flour tortillas
1 Red bell pepper
1 Orange bell pepper
1 Yellow onion

Cilantro Cream Ingredients

1/4 cup Mexican crema or sour cream
1/4 cup Mayo
1 Lime
1 Chipotle pepper in adobo sauce
Handful of cilantro

Instructions

Start by slicing a red, orange bell pepper and a yellow onion.
Cube up chicken thighs into bite size pieces, drizzle with olive oil and generously season with Dad'sTaco seasoning.
In a blender add equal parts Mexican crema or sour cream and mayo, freshly squeezed lime juice, a chipotle pepper in adobo sauce and a handful of cilantro. Blend the ingredients together.
Preheat the grill to a medium heat and drizzle with olive oil. Once the griddle is heated up, drop the veggies on first. Season with Dad's All Purpose seasoning and cook until soft.
Next drop in the chicken. After 1-2 minutes flip the pieces over. Continue flipping until the chicken reaches an internal temperature of 165 degrees.
Mix the chicken and veggies together and remove everything off the grill.
Place a large flour tortilla on the griddle and add a generous layer of shredded chihuahua cheese to one half.
Place the grilled chicken pieces and sautéed veggies over the cheese, drizzle with the cilantro crema and cover with another layer of cheese. Flip the other half of the tortilla over the filling.
Cook for 2-3 minutes on each side, until crispy and golden brown.
