Number Of Ingredients 7

1/4 cup KRAFT Zesty Lime Vinaigrette Dressing
1/2 tsp. ground cumin
2 small boneless skinless chicken breasts (1/2 lb.), pounded to 1/2-inch thickness
1 ear corn on the cob, husks and silk removed
1/4 cup pico de gallo
4 flour tortillas (6 inch)
1 cup KRAFT Shredded Colby & Monterey Jack Cheeses

Steps:

  • Heat grill to medium heat.

  • Remove corn from grill; set aside to cool. Remove chicken from marinade; discard marinade. Grill chicken 5 min. on each side or until done (165ºF).
  • Cut chicken into thin strips, then cut kernels off corn. Combine corn and pico de gallo.
  • Top tortillas with corn mixture, cheese and chicken; fold in half. Grill 1 to 2 min. on each side or until cheese is melted and quesadillas are lightly browned on both sides.
