Ingredients
  

  • 4 Large Flour Tortillas
  • 2 cups Shredded Cheese a mix of cheddar and Monterey Jack works best
  • 1/2 cup Cooked & Shredded Chicken optional
  • 1/4 cup Chipotle Honey Sauce Recipe Below
  • 1 Red Onion, Thinly Sliced
  • 1 Bell Pepper, Thin Sliced
  • 2 tbsp Olive Oil
  • - Fresh Cilantro, chopped for garnish
  • - Sour Cream & Lime Wedges for serving
Honey Chipotle Sauce
  • 3 Chipotle in Adobo
  • 3/4  tsp  Sea Salt
  • 2  tbsp Olive Oil
  • 2  tbsp  Honey
  • 2  tbsp Apple Cider Vinegar
  • 1/2  tsp  Garlic Powder
  • 1/4  tsp  Ground Cumin

Method
 

    • In a small bowl, mix together the honey, adobo sauce, cumin, smoked paprika, garlic powder, and a pinch of salt. Adjust the seasoning to taste. Set aside.
    • In a large skillet, heat 1 tablespoon of olive oil over medium heat. Add the sliced red onion and bell pepper. Cook until the vegetables are tender and slightly caramelized, about 5-7 minutes. Remove from the skillet and set aside.
    • Lay out the tortillas on a clean surface. Spread a thin layer of chipotle honey sauce on half of each tortilla. Sprinkle a generous amount of shredded cheese over the sauce. Add the cooked chicken (if using) and the sautéed vegetables. Fold the tortillas in half to create a half-moon shape.
    • In the same skillet, heat the remaining olive oil over medium heat. Place one or two quesadillas in the skillet (depending on the size) and cook until the tortilla is golden brown and the cheese is melted, about 3-4 minutes per side. Repeat with the remaining quesadillas.
    • Cut each quesadilla into wedges and garnish with fresh cilantro. Serve with sour cream and lime wedges on the side. Enjoy your Chipotle Honey Quesadillas warm!
