Taco Bell's Chicken Quesadilla Recipe

Submitted by Kerry

One recipe of jalapeno sauce (above)

4 chicken breast tenderloins

4 large flour tortillas (10-inch)

1 cup shredded cheddar cheese

1 cup shredded monterey jack cheese

2 slices American cheese

Prepare creamy jalapeno sauce by combining all
ingredients in a small bowl. Cover and chill so
that flavors develop. Stir occasionally.

Preheat your barbecue grill to medium heat.

Rub chicken tenderloins with vegetable oil. Salt
and pepper each side of each tenderloin. Grill
for 3 to 5 minutes per side. When chicken is
done, slice it very thin.

When you are ready to build your quesadillas,
preheat a 12-inch skillet over medium low heat.

When the pan is hot lay one tortilla in the pan.
Arrange about 1/4 cup of shredded cheddar cheese and 1/4 cup of shredded jack cheese on half of the tortilla. Tear up half a slice of American cheese and arrange it on the other cheeses.

Arrange about 1/4 cup of sliced chicken over the cheese.

Spread about 1 tablespoon of jalapeno sauce over the tortilla on the half with no ingredients on it.

Fold the sauced-covered half of the tortilla over onto the ingredients on the other half and press down with a spatula. Cook for about 1 minute, then turn the quesadilla over and cook for a couple more minutes or until the cheese inside is melted. Slice into four pieces and serve hot. Repeat with the remaining ingredients.

Makes 4 quesadillas.
