GRILLED CHICKEN AND RICE CORN QUESADILLA

Steps:

• This is the rice recipe I used, minus the butter and pecans, and added some smoke paprika and cumin. I used about 1 tbl. of olive oil instead of the butter. https://www.justapinch.com/recipes/side/rice-side/long-grain-and-wild-rice.html?p=8 NOTE: for added flavor cook in chicken or beef stock. Use homemade stock to keep the sodium low.

• Heat rice, chicken and salsa together in pan. Remove, spray one side of corn tortilla with spray oil, place that side down. Sprinkle with a little cheese, then add the chicken mixture, then a little more cheese. Spray one more tortilla with spray oil, and place that side UP. Heat for about 1-2 min. depending on heat your cooking on, flip and heat other side. Cheese will melt and tortilla will brown a little.

GRILLED CHICKEN QUESADILLAS

Steps:

• Place the chicken on a plate, and sprinkle with adobo seasoning on both sides. Let it marinate for 15 minutes.
• Heat grill for medium-high heat.
• Lightly oil the grill grate. Place chicken on grill, and cook for 10 minutes per side, or until juices run clear. Remove chicken from grill, and cut into bite-size pieces.

CHICKEN, BLACK BEAN & CORN GRILLED QUESADILLAS

Steps:

• Filling -- In a large saute pan, add the garlic, jalapeno and cook 2 minutes, then add the beans, corn, chicken, cilantro, cumin, chili powder and mix well and heat up. That is it.
• Stuff the Quesadilla -- Top one side of the quesadilla with the filling, top with cheese and fold in half (to form a half circle).
• Grill -- This can be done on a inside grill pan or outside grill, saute pan, or a 400 degree oven. Just make sure to brush the quesadilla with some oil oil to get a nice crispy golden brown quesadilla. Just a couple of minutes per side is all it takes on the grill or grill pan. Just make sure the cheese melts and the quesadilla gets golden brown. Medium heat is all you need. Each grill inside or out or saute pan is different so just cook until golden brown is all.
• Serve -- Cut the quesadilla in 2-3 slices. I just use a pizza cutter or a knife works fine. For me -- I serve over a bed of lettuce or Mexican rice, then add maybe some sour cream, salsa and always avocado slices (just my favorite). Use your favorite toppings. Fresh diced tomatoes or black olives are also very good. ENJOY!
