Chicken Quesadilla with Pico de Gallo

So I am definitely craving Mexican food. I went to a Mexican Restaurant the other night before a movie, about ten years ago I ate at the same place. I hated it then and I still hate it. Everything about it,  the food, the atmosphere, the obnoxious decorating. I honestly think my Mexican food is better than their "Authentic Mexican" food. Maybe they should try their hand at Swedish Meatballs.

Here is my recipe for Quesadillas.


Chicken Quesadilla's with Pico de Gallo

Pico de Gallo
2 tomatoes diced small
1 small onion diced small
juice from 1 lime
chopped fresh cilantro
jalapeno seeded and diced
salt and pepper to taste

Mix the above ingredients together in small  bowl and set aside.
For the Quesadillas
2 T olive oil, divided
2 skinless, boneless chicken breast halves - cut into strips
1/2 onion, thinly sliced
1 green bell pepper, thinly sliced
2 cloves garlic, minced
4 (12 inch) flour tortillas
1 cup shredded Monterey Jack cheese
1/4 cup sour cream, for topping

1. In a large skillet, heat 1 tablespoon olive oil. Add chicken and saute until cooked through and juices run clear. Remove chicken from skillet and set aside.
2. Put the remaining 1 tablespoon of olive oil in the hot skillet and saute the sliced onion and green pepper until tender. Stir in the minced garlic and saute until the aroma is strong. Mix in half of the pico de gallo and chicken breast meat. Set aside; keep warm.
3. In a heavy skillet, heat one flour tortilla. Spread 1/4 cup shredded cheese on the tortilla and top with 1/2 the chicken mixture. Sprinkle another 1/4 cup cheese over the chicken and top with another tortilla. When bottom tortilla is lightly brown and cheese has started to melt, flip quesadilla and cook on the opposite side. Remove quesadilla from skillet and cut into quarters. Repeat with remaining ingredients. Serve quesadillas with sour cream and remaining pico de gallo.
