C :: Week 9 :: Taco Bell Quesadillas

One of my most favorite take out food items are the chicken quesadillas from TacoBell!  I just love that sauce!  Anyway living in a foreign country makes it difficult to find these, so I found a recipe to make them at my house!

Sauce
1/4 cup mayonnaise
2 teaspoons minced jalapenos, slices
2 teaspoons jalapeno juice, from minced jalepenos
3/4 teaspoon sugar
1/2 teaspoon cumin
1/2 teaspoon paprika
1/8 teaspoon cayenne pepper
1/8 teaspoon garlic powder
1 dash salt

Quesadillas
4 flour tortillas
4 chicken tenderloins
1 cup shredded cheddar cheese
1 cup shredded monterey jack cheese
2 slices processed cheese

1. Combine sauce ingredients and stir until smooth.
2. Grill chicken in vegetable oil and cut into thin slices.
3. Preheat skillet over medium heat.
4. One at a time, lay tortilla into hot skillet and sprinkle with 1/4 cup of each shredded cheese and 1/2 cheese slice on one side of the tortilla.
5. Arrange about 1/4 cup chicken slices over tortilla on the same half covered with cheese.
6. On the empty side, spread about one tablespoon of sauce.
7. Fold over, and press gently with spatula.
8. Cook until cheese is melted and slice each into 4 pieces.


These were super yummy!  Super easy to make and everything!  The only thing I would change, would be to reduce the amount of sugar - it was a little sweet for me.  And I didn't use the processed cheese, I just used some yellow cheddar & white cheddar. :)
