tasty quesadilla

So, since I am currently unemployed, I get to cook myself lunch. Today I made a masterpiece.

Admittedly, the masterpiece was not my original idea. I had it in Boston, with Sampson, at that place with 320 different beers, 120 of which are on tap. I didn't want to leave that place...

But today I made:

BBQ Chicken Quesadillas with a kick

I got the flour tortilla. I tossed it on the oiled cast iron skillet. I then added chipotle cheddar cheese. Next, I tossed on my already cooked chicken chunks. I then topped it off with a generous amount of Bono's sweet and tangy BBQ sauce. I put the other tortilla on top, cooked til both sides were appropriately crispy.

It was delicious. Messy as all get out, but so tasty it didn't matter. I think I will refine it a bit next time. Not sure how to make it better, as it was already a masterpiece, but I will see. Ideas are certainly appreciated.



Well, that's all for now. I'm off to send out more CVs to employers and whatnot. Cheers!

Your generosity was probably your downfall. I'm imagining your quesedilla as a somewhat gloppy mess, overcome with sauce.

I vote for you to add some chopped onion. Red onion, nice and strong, would probably be best. Since I don't have to suffer the aftermath, I can recommend such things...

Sorry Beth.

Everything can use more Garlic!

Also if you make your own chicken and slow simmer your chicken in it the sauce will get into the chicken meat and thus will not have to be 'splashed' all over to make a googey mess.

while normally I am a proponent of more Garlic. Much like cowbell. However, in this particular scenario, I don't think garlic would enhance (enhance. enhance. heheh) the flavor of the dish. I do agree with the onion suggestion and the way to keep flavor while reducing goopiness. The downside to the cooking part is that the chicken would have to be made right then, while the beauty of the chicken we have is that he cooked it all at once and put in the fridge so it is ready-made to some extent. And Delia, I know you're just fishing for some biscotti. Making Andy "prove" to you. I know that trick:)

I think this calls for a bbq chicken quesadilla cookoff.

Crystal, you make yours.

Andy, you make yours.

Delia, you make bbq chicken quesa-biscotti (mmm...quesa-queasy).

Me, I'll form the head.

I don't need Andy to prove to me anything at all... I know my Biscotti are superior to any biscotti he could attempt to make...

:D
