Grilled Chicken Quesadilla Recipe
This is a delicious Mexican recipe made by seasoning boneless chicken thighs and grilling them to perfection, then layering tortillas with grilled chicken, onion, and cheese. The quesadillas can be cooked right on the grill, making them an excellent choice for outdoor cooking. Of course, you do not have to wait for grilling season either. Use an electric indoor grill instead if you want to, and you can produce just as great results. If your grill is not right for making quesadillas, then you can make these chicken tortillas in the oven.
The mixture of chicken, adobo seasoning, cheese, onion, and chilies is a wonderful one. Adobo is a marinade or hot sauce used in Mexican and southwestern cuisines. Actually, "adobo" means marinade or sauce in Spanish. This sauce is dark red and it contains chilies, as well as perhaps vinegar, garlic and bell pepper. Onions, tomatoes, spices and herbs are common in adobo and there are various types. Hot chilies are often packed in adobo sauce.
Serve these delicious quesadillas with sour cream and salsa to taste. Everyone loves these great grilled chicken quesadillas. For a wine to drink with this dish, try Sauvignon Blanc. For a cocktail, fizzy lime vodka and, for non-drinkers, raspberry lemonade!
