apple chicken quesadillas


I've always loved a good quesadilla...and this is a good quesadilla.  There's something about the combination of apples, chicken, and corn that is so delightfully different and refreshing!  Dipped in a bit of sour cream and salsa, these things really make a fun meal.

These are also incredibly easy to make.  You mix all of the filler ingredients in a large bowl.  Sometimes I do this in advance and just refrigerate it.

Apple Chicken Quesadillas
adapted from Taste of Home's Light and Tasty 2004
  • 2 medium tart apples, sliced and cut into pieces
  • 1 cup diced cooked chicken breast
  • 1/2 cup fresh or frozen corn, thawed
  • 1/2 cup shredded cheddar
  • 1/2 cup shredded mozzarella
  • 1 fresh tomato, chopped
  • 1/2 onion, chopped
  • 1/4 t. salt
  • 8 8-inch flour tortillas

Combine all ingredients except tortillas in a large bowl.  For each quesadilla, place approximately 3/4 cup of the filling inside a tortilla; fold in half and secure with a toothpick.  Place on a greased baking sheet.  Bake at 400 degrees for 8-10 minutes, or until golden brown.  Turn over and bake 5-8 minutes longer.  Makes 8.
