Spicy Peanut Chicken Quesadillas

Whew! This recipe was a wee bit spicy although I ate it so it’s probably won’t be too spicy for those of you who like spicy foods. Definitely a keeper.

This recipe assumed that I had everything prepared ahead of time so get your ingredients ready before following the directions.

Ingredients

  • 6 Flour Tortillas
  • 1/2 cup jack cheese, shredded
  • 1/2 cup cheddar cheese, shredded
  • 2 skinless chicken breasts, boiled til cooked, then shredded
  • 2 tablespoons spicy peanut sauce (see below)
  • 2 green onions, sliced

Directions

  1. Place a tortilla in a pan then sprinkle cheese, chicken, onion and spicy peanut sauce over half of it.
  2. Fold the tortilla in half so it covers the filling and cook this until the quesadilla is golden brown on both sides (turn once) and the cheese is melted.
