Chicken and Mushroom Quesadillas
Ingredients
2 Chicken Breasts, boneless and skinless, cubed
4 oz canned Mushrooms, drained & sliced
2.25 oz Black Olives, drained & sliced
7 oz petite diced tomatoes with juice (1/2 can)
2 cups cheddar cheese
6 Tortillas
Procedure
Cut the chicken into 1/2 inch cubs and put in a bowl. Add 1 Tbsp olive oil, salt, pepper, paprika, and cumin. Toss well and let sit for 15 minutes.
In a large skillet, add 1 tbsp oil and bring up to medium-high heat. Add the chicken and sauté until done. Remove and keep warm.
In the same skillet, add the mushrooms, olives, and tomatoes. Season with salt and pepper. Bring to a boil, cover, and simmer for 5 minutes.
Add the chicken to the skillet, stir to mix well, and bring back to a boil. Cook uncovered until all of the juice has evaporated. Now, cover and remove from heat.
Lay out a tortilla, using a slotted spoon, spoon the mixture from the skillet to cover one side of the tortilla. Now liberally cover with cheese and then fold the tortilla over and press down to secure. In a fresh skillet (preferably CI), heat 1 tsp of oil. Add the tortilla and cook for 3 minutes per side to lightly brown and melt the cheese. Do the same for the remaining tortillas and then serve.
