Chicken Quesadillas

Last weekend I had dinner with friends, and they made Chicken Quesadillas.   I liked them so much I wanted to make them again for Tim.

Ingredients
2 chicken breasts (butterflied)
1 large green bell pepper
1 medium onion
4 cups shredded cheese ( Sargento Mexican Cheese works well)
onion powder
garlic powder
toasted cumin powder
salt
pepper
chipotle pepper
chopped cilantro.
diced jalapeños  (optional)
4 large tortillas


Preheat Grill
Sprinkle onion powder, garlic powder, cumin powder, salt, pepper and chipotle powder on all sides of the chicken.  Grill for 3 minutes each side or until internal temperature reaches 160 degrees. Set aside and dice when cooled.

Cut bell pepper in half and remove seeds.  Flatten the bell pepper and place on grill for about 1 to 2 minutes.    Slice Onion into large rounds and place on grill for 1 to 2 minutes.   Let cool and then dice.

Preheat oven to  425 degrees
On a large baking sheet, place 1 tortilla top with 1 cup of cheese, veggies, chicken, and cilantro.  Top with an additional cup of cheese and 1 tortilla.  Bake for 10 minutes, until cheese is melted.

Serve with favorite salsa, sour cream and guacamole.
