So tasty and so easy! Authentic Mexican appetizer or snack... also great to make for company because it is so simple! Another favorite with company and fun to make with your kids! For variations you can add jalapeno peppers, use steak instead of chicken, or use anything else you may want to experiment with. You can even substitute the insides with pepperoni, mozzerella cheese, green peppers, onions, mushrooms.... Flatten as above and serve pizza sauce for dipping! Think I might try to make pizza quesadillas for my next appetizer now!

EASY GRILLED CHICKEN QUESADILLAS



Easy Grilled Chicken Quesadillas image

This dish is easy to make and the chicken can be marinaded ahead of time so that it can marinade longer. I didn't include the marinade time in the time estimate for this dish. The ability to build your own allows for each friend or family member to create their own specialty quesadillas. We make this for our family (of 6), but have also made for parties with great success! We make whole quesadillas, however, you can create half a quesadilla if you prefer a smaller portion or for appetizers.

Provided by Maria Davidson @sondais

Categories     Chicken

Number Of Ingredients 8

1 pound(s) chicken breast or chicken breast tenderloin
1 package(s) taco seasoning mix (your favorite)
1/3 cup(s) veggie oil
1/3 cup(s) water
1/2 teaspoon(s) garlic powder
12 - soft taco shells, medium size
- your favorite taco/quesadilla toppings
4 cup(s) cheddar cheese (mild, sharp or mexi mix)

Steps:

  • Flatten chicken breasts with a meat mallet to make them even (for easier and faster grilling). Cutting into strips (or using chicken tenderloins) allows for faster grilling and shredding time.
  • Mix taco seasoning with the veggie oil, water and garlic powder.
  • Place chicken into a zip lock bag and cover with taco seasoning marinade. Seal.
  • Place into fridge and marinade 1/2 hour to up to 24 hours.
  • Grill marinaded chicken until done.
  • Once cool enough to handle, shred chicken with your fingers.
  • Lay a soft taco shell flat on a plate or cookie sheet. Add cheese and chicken.
  • At this point, you can add whatever other toppings you like on your quesadillas such as jalapeno peppers, sauteed onions, hot sauce, olives, bacon, salsa, etc.
  • Top with a little more cheese (this acts as a glue) and add another soft taco shell to the top. Grill to desired crispness.
