I was lucky enough to marry a man that likes to cook. In fact, he even went to culinary school back when we were dating. The fact that he is a great cook can be intimidating at times, but mostly it is a benefit, especially when he decides to grace me with a delicious dish. I can't remember when or why he made these quesadillas when my sister Carrie was over, but he did and she loved them. She told me recently that when she was going to give herself a "cheat meal" on her diet, the one thing she wanted was for Jon to make her his quesadillas. So, here is the recipe...I don't think you'll be disappointed!
Ingredients:
1/2 lb cooked chicken (about 1 cup cut up) - optional, these can be made without meat and still just as good!
4 flour tortillas (8-10 inches)
1/4 cup soft cream cheese - stir in 1/4 teaspoon garlic powder
1 cup shredded mozzarella cheese (4 ounces)
1/2 cup crumbled feta cheese (2 ounces)
chopped fresh cilantro or parsley, if desired
sliced jalepeno chili, if desired
salsa, if desired
*Heat the oven to 450 degrees
Cut the chicken into 1/2 inch pieces
Place 2 tortillas on the ungreased cookie sheet. Spread about 2 tablespoons of the cream cheese over each tortilla. Top with the chicken, mozz cheese and feta cheese. Top with the 2 remaining tortillas.
Bake about 5 mins or just until cheese is melted.
To serve, cut each quesadilla into 8 wedges. Sprinkle with cilantro. Garnish each wedge with jalepeno chili, using a toothpick to hold in place. Serve with salsa.
