Three Cheese Chicken Quesadillas

Another yummy recipe from the Food Nanny.

Three Cheese Chicken Quesadillas
6 servings

1 lb boneless skinless chicken
6 taco size flour tortillas
1 cup shredded cheddar
1/2 cup shredded Monterey Jack
1/2 cup shredded pepper jack

Toppings:
shredded iceburg lettuce
1 avocado, sliced lengthwise
sour cream
salsa

1. Preheat the oven to 400 degrees and grease a rimmed baking sheet.

2. Saute the chicken cut into strips with olive oil and onion. Lay out the tortillas and scoop 1/2 cup of the chicken on one half of each torilla.

3. Combine the cheeses and sprinkle 1/3 cup over the chicken on each tortilla. Fold each tortilla in half, secure it with a toothpick, place on the prepared baking sheet, and bake for 6 to 10 minutes. Carefully turn the quesadillas and bake until barely brown, about 5 minutes. Discard the toothpicks.

4. Cut each quesadilla into three wedges and serve with lettuce, avocado, sour cream, and salsa.

You can make this meatless by using refried beans instead of chicken!
