Grilled Chipotle-Chicken Quesadillas - cooking recipe

Ingredients

4 boneless skinless chicken breast halves
1 tablespoon olive oil
salt & freshly ground black pepper
1 canned chipotle chile in adobo, drained and minced
1/4 cup sour cream
1/4 cup mayonnaise
1 tablespoon lime juice
1 tablespoon chopped fresh cilantro
8 (6 inch) corn tortillas
2 cups grated monterey jack cheese
pico de gallo or other salsa

Preparation

Brush chicken breasts with olive oil and sprinkle with salt and pepper. Lay chicken on a grill over medium heat (you can hold you hand 1 or 2 inches above grill level only 4 to 5 seconds) or put chicken in a grill pan over medium heat. Cook chicken 4 to 5 minutes per side, or until cooked through (cut to check). Slice cooked chicken breasts into 1/4 in.-thick slices. Keep grill or grill pan hot.
In a small bowl, whisk together chipotle chile, sour cream, mayonnaise, lime juice, and cilantro.
Spread 1 tablespoon chipotle-lime sauce on each of the tortillas. Top 4 of the tortillas each with 1/2 cup cheese and a quarter of the chicken slices, then cover with the remaining tortillas (sauce side down). Put each quesadilla on a dinner plate.
Slide quesadillas off the plates onto the grill over medium heat, or slide into a grill pan over medium heat (you may need to grill the tortillas in batches). Grill uncovered turning once, until cheese is melted and both sides are golden, about 2 minutes each side (use a large spatula and tongs to flip the quesadillas). If grilling in batches, keep finished quesadillas warm in a 200 degree oven until ready to serve.
Slice each quesadilla into wedges and serve with salsa on the side.
