Lime Chipotle Chicken Quesadillas
Quesadilla:
10 boneless skinless chicken breast tenders
Saucy Mama Chipotle Mustard
1 red bell pepper – cubed
1 yellow onion – cubed
1 can black beans – drained and rinsed
1/2 bag frozen corn
5 tablespoons Saucy Mama Lime Chipotle Marinade – divided
1 bag Mexican Cheese mix
Small corn tortillas
Sauce:
3 tablespoons sour cream
1 tablespoon chipotle mustard
Tabasco sauce – to taste (I found four dashes to be perfect)
Instructions
Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Lay out chicken tenders on baking sheet. Slather tenders with Saucy Mama Chipotle Mustard. Cook for approximately 25 minutes until tenders are fully cooked. Set aside to cool. Put a little olive oil in a large high sided pan and heat. Cube red peppers and onions and cook in heated oil. Gently saute but do not brown. After the vegetables are soft add one can of drained and rinsed black beans and 6oz. of frozen corn niblets. Gently stir until beans and corn are warmed through. Add 2 tablespoons of the Saucy Mama Lime Chipotle marinade to vegetables, mix and set aside. Shred cooled chicken and pour 3 tablespoons of Saucy Mama Lime Chiptole marinade on top and toss to evenly distribute marinade through chicken. Add marinated shredded chicken to vegetable pan and toss. Butter one side of two corn tortillas. Put cheese on bottom of quesadilla, fill with a little more than 1/2 cup filling and put cheese on top of quesadilla. The cheese helps hold the quesadilla together. Cook in medium heat pan until bottom is brown and gently turn over and cook other side until brown (make sure cheese has started to melt or your filling will fall out when you attempt to flip the quesadilla). Cut into quarters and serve with Saucy Mama Chipotle dipping sauce.
This recipe will serve enough for a large party. I would recommend halving the recipe if you are only feeding a small family.
