Recipe Description

These quesadillas are spicy, creamy, crispy, and packed with flavor. Using rotisserie chicken makes them extra quick to throw together, and the chipotle sauce adds a smoky kick that takes them to the next level.

Ingredients

6 burrito-sized tortillas
½ rotisserie chicken
½ cup frozen corn
½–¾ cup shredded Mexican blend cheese
½ cup guacamole
½ cup mayonnaise
1 tsp garlic powder
1 tsp apple cider vinegar
1 tsp lemon juice
1 tsp honey
1 3.5oz can chipotle peppers in adobo
Store bought side salad (optional to add more veg!)
Salt and pepper to taste
Olive oil

Preparation

In a bowl, combine the mayonnaise, garlic powder, apple cider vinegar, lemon juice, honey, salt, pepper, and a drizzle of olive oil.
Finely chop chipotle peppers in adobo and stir into the sauce. Add a little at a time depending on your spice preference. Mix well and set aside.
Warm the tortillas in the microwave for about 30 seconds to make them more pliable.
Warm the frozen corn in the microwave according to package instructions
Lay out one tortilla and cut a single slit from the bottom edge to the center of the tortilla. Mentally divide the tortilla into four quarters.
1. In the first quarter (bottom left of the cut), spread chipotle sauce and add shredded chicken.
2. In the second quarter (top left), spread guacamole and top with warmed corn.
3. In the third quarter (top right), sprinkle Mexican blend cheese.
4. Leave the last quarter empty for easier folding.
Fold the tortilla upwards over the next quarter, then fold clockwise into a triangle shape, ending with a fully folded quesadilla.
Heat a drizzle of olive oil in a skillet over medium heat.
Cook each quesadilla for about 3 minutes per side, or until golden brown and crispy.
Serve hot. You can enjoy these on their own or pair with a side salad for extra veggies.
