Steps:
- Heat 1 tablespoon of the olive oil in a skillet over high heat. Sprinkle the chicken with salt, pepper and taco seasoning. Add the chicken to the skillet and saute over medium-high heat until done, about 4 minute per side. Remove from the skillet and dice into cubes. Set aside.
- Add the remaining 1 tablespoon olive oil to the skillet over high heat. Throw in the onions and peppers and cook until the peppers have a few dark brown/black areas, 3 to 4 minutes. Remove and set aside.
- Sizzle 1/2 tablespoon of the butter in a separate skillet or griddle over medium heat and lay a flour tortilla in the skillet. Then build the quesadillas by laying grated cheese on the bottom tortilla, and then arranging the chicken and cooked peppers. Top with a little more grated cheese and top with a second tortilla.
- When the tortilla is golden on the first side, carefully flip the quesadilla to the other side, adding another 1/2 tablespoon butter to the skillet at the same time. Continue cooking until the second side is golden. Repeat with the remaining tortillas and fillings.
- Cut each quesadilla into wedges and serve with Pico de Gallo.
- Dice up equal quantities of tomatoes and onions. Roughly chop the cilantro.
- Now, slice 1 or 2 jalapenos in half. With a spoon, scrape out the seeds. (If you like things spicy, leave in some of the white membranes.) Dice the jalapenos very finely; you want a hint of heat and jalapeno flavor, but you don't want to cause any fires. Now dump the four ingredients into a bowl.
- Slice the lime in half and squeeze the juice from half the lime into the bowl. Sprinkle with salt, and stir together until combined. Be sure to taste the pico de gallo and adjust the seasonings, adding salt or more diced jalapeno if needed.
EASY CHICKEN-MUSHROOM QUESADILLAS
Steps:
- Heat the oil in a large skillet over a medium heat. Add the onions and mushrooms and cook until the mushroom water is evaporated and they begin to brown, 5 to 7 minutes. Add the garlic and cook for 1 minute more. Add chicken, cumin, chili powder and oregano and stir until all spices are incorporated. Add spinach, salt and pepper and cook until spinach is wilted, about 2 minutes.
- Lay 1 tortilla on a flat work surface and sprinkle with 1/4 cup shredded cheese. Spoon 1/2 chicken and vegetable mixture on top of cheese, then top with an additional 1/4 cup cheese. Top with another flour tortilla. Heat a large nonstick skillet with cooking spray over medium heat. Carefully place 1 quesadilla in pan and cook 3 minutes. Using a large spatula, gently flip quesadilla and cook an additional 3 minutes until lightly browned and cheese is melted. Repeat with second quesadilla. Slice each quesadilla into quarters. Place 2 quarters on a plate with 1 tablespoon sour cream and 2 tablespoons salsa.

CHICKEN QUESADILLAS
This is a great recipe for parties. I freeze the leftovers; they reheat quite well. The zesty chicken and cooked peppers are a succulent delight when mixed with the melted cheeses. Cut the quesadillas into wedges and serve with sour cream and salsa.

CHICKEN & BROCCOLI QUESADILLA
When I made this, I needed something healthy that would also satisfy my taste buds. The flavor of garlic dispersed through the healthy taste of soft broccoli and meaty chicken is more than satisfying to the mouth without causing the urge to workout after eating.

Steps:
- Rinse and separate broccoli into extra small pieces. Peel and mince garlic.
- Season chicken with sea salt, pepper, and Mrs. Dash Original. Cook chicken with 1 tbsp of the olive oil on medium heat. Cook until browned on each side.
- Remove chicken and cut/shred into flat pieces. It's okay if it's not fully cooked in the center. Cooked or not, put chicken back into the pan.
- Add remaining 3 tbsp of olive oil, the broccoli pieces, and minced garlic. Stir to evenly distribute the olive oil throughout the broccoli and chicken. Season with sea salt, pepper, and Mrs. Dash Original (if desired). Cook for several minutes, until broccoli is soft.
- Remove chicken and broccoli mixture, and set aside. Place tortilla on pan and immediately put on cheddar cheese (about 1/4 c). Sprinkle 1/4 of the broccoli and chicken mixture on top of cheddar, then add about 1/4 c of the Monterey Jack cheese. Place tortilla on top and flip. Cook for a minute or two, or until slightly crunchy. Repeat this step 3 more times. Enjoy!
