Ingredients
  • 2 Tomatoes
    • 1 Onion
  • 2 Limes
  • 2 TBs Fresh Cilantro
  • 1 Jalapeno Pepper
  • Salt and Pepper
  • 2 TBs Olive Oil
  • 2 Skinless, boneless chicken breast halves
  • 1 Green Bell Pepper
  • 2 Cloves Garlic
  • 4 (12 inch) Flour Tortillas
  • 1 cup Monterey Jack
  • Sour Cream and Avocado (Optional)

Directions
  • In a small bowl, combine tomatoes, onion, lime juice, cilantro, jalapeno, salt and pepper. Set aside.
  • In a large skillet, heat 1 TB olive oil. Add chicken and saute until cooked through and juices run clear. Remove chicken from skillet and set aside.
  • Put the remaining 1 TB of olive oil in the hot skillet and saute the sliced onion and green pepper until tender. Stir in the minced garlic and saute until the aroma is strong.
  • Mix in half of the pico de gallo and chicken breast meat. Set aside; keep warm.
  • Spray a heavy skillet with cooking spray and heat one flour tortilla. Spread 1/4 cup shredded cheese on the tortilla and top with 1/2 the chicken mixture.
  • Sprinkle another 1/4 cup cheese over the chicken and top with another tortilla. When bottom tortilla is lightly brown and cheese has started to melt, flip quesadilla and cook on the opposite side.
  • Remove quesadilla from skillet and cut into quarters. Repeat with remaining ingredients.
  • Serve quesadillas with sour cream, avocados, and the remaining pico de gallo.
