Ingredients

  • 2 poblano peppers medium
  • 2 cups shredded mexican cheese blend
  • 1 cup chicken cooked, shredded
  • 1/4 cup chopped fresh cilantro
  • 1 teaspoon Spice Islands Onion Salt
  • 6 flour tortillas 8 to 10-inch
  • 2 tablespoons Mazola Corn Oil

Method

  • Roast poblano peppers under the broiler, over a gas flame OR on the grill.
  • Heat for 5 to 7 minutes per side or until surface skin on the peppers is blistered and charred.
  • Using tongs, transfer peppers to a paper bag or a covered bowl and set aside until cool enough to handle.
  • Rinse peppers under running water to remove stem, seeds, pith and all charred material.
  • Pat dry and cut into 1-inch strips.
  • Heat griddle or large skillet over medium-high heat OR place oven rack in upper third of oven and pre-heat broiler to 400°F.
  • Combine roasted poblano strips, cheese, chicken, cilantro and onion salt in a small bowl.
  • Evenly divide the filling and spread over one half of each tortilla.
  • Fold remaining half over to form a semi-circle.
  • Lightly brush both sides of quesadillas with corn oil.
  • Heat quesadillas for 1 to 2 minutes per side or until lightly browned and cheese is melted. (For broiler method, place quesadillas on a baking sheet and broil for 1 to 2 minutes per side or until lightly browned and cheese is melted.)
  • Cut quesadillas into wedges and serve with salsa and sour cream, if desired.
