Quesadilla:


Chicken quesadilla recipe:
Ingredients:
Mexican four cheese packet (Cheddar,Monterey,Jack,and Asadero cheese)
1 piece Chicken breast boneless ( Cut into medium pieces)
1 /4 cup Mushroom diced
1 /4 cup Capsicum diced
Spring Onion
Salt
Pepper (powdered)
Lemon juice
Readymade Tortillas
Butter                      
                                                                 
Preparation:
        In a nonstick pan add a tsp of oil and fry the chicken pieces by adding salt and pepper. Once the water from chicken comes out & evaporates and also chicken color changes to white, cook the chicken covered with few drops of lemon juice for about 5 mins in medium flame .

      
                                   
Then add the diced mushroom and capsicum (add other veggies also… our favorite is this) and again cook covered for 3 mins.

                                                          
Now the stuffing is ready. Take the readymade tortillas and toss it lightly on both sides in the hot griddle (just a sec) and keep it ready by applying butter on one side of the tortilla.(after tossing,apply butter)
In the griddle, keep the buttered side of the tortilla down and in a few secs ,(2-3 secs) the top layer rises lightly. Now sprinkle the cheese over and add a handful of stuffing and again a few sprinkles of cheese.

                             
Now place another buttered tortilla(buttered side facing up) above the stuffing and flip the quesadilla,and cook for 3 secs. (until u get the same browned layer on bottom as the top)

                                                 
Place the quesadilla in a plate and slice it as u like and do the same process for remaining stuffings.
Serve it with some dippings.. We use to have it with gucamole dip.


                                
Note:
    For vegetarians, instead of chicken add more veggies like jalapenos,tomatoes,red bell pepper etc., and enjoy ur veg quesadilla.
 For Non-veg lovers, less veggies and more chicken or shrimp (cooked, tailed off) can work well.
If u r adding shrimp, add some chilli powder / jalapenos for better taste.
And for cheese we got Cheddar cheese bar and Monterey Jack cheese bar and shredded it home.(Since we used to do quesadilla every week)
