Chicken Quesadillas With Avocado Cucumber Salsa Recipes

CHICKEN QUESADILLAS WITH AVOCADO-CUCUMBER SALSA

Chicken Quesadillas With Avocado-Cucumber Salsa image

There is one caveat when using leftover grilled meat. As the meat chills, the flavors recede, becoming quieter and mellower. For these quesadillas that I made out of Sunday's grilled chicken thighs, shredded and stuffed into a corn tortilla with a little cheese and quickly toasted, I stirred together a lime-zest-imbued cucumber and avocado salsa that added a welcome citrus edge.

Ingredients

1 avocado, peeled, pitted and diced small
2 Kirby cucumbers, peeled and diced small
2 tablespoons finely chopped red onion
1 1/2 tablespoons chopped fresh cilantro
1 1/2 teaspoons finely grated lime zest
1 tablespoon freshly squeezed lime juice
1/2 jalapeño, seeded, if desired, and finely chopped
1/4 teaspoon kosher salt
1/4 teaspoon black pepper
1/2 pound cooked chicken, shredded (about 1 1/3 cups)
1/4 pound Monterey Jack cheese, grated (about a cup)
8 6-inch corn tortillas
Olive oil, for brushing

Steps:

In a bowl, mix together the avocado, cucumbers, red onion, cilantro, lime zest, lime juice, jalapeño, salt and pepper.
Sandwich some of the chicken and cheese between two tortillas; repeat with the remaining chicken, cheese and tortillas. Brush the top and bottom of each quesadilla lightly with oil.
Heat a large, nonstick skillet over high heat until very hot. Cook the quesadillas, in batches, if necessary, until the cheese melts and the tortillas are crisp and golden, 1 1/2 to 2 minutes per side.
Cut into wedges and top with some of the salsa.
