Instructions

• Wash and dry all produce. • Thinly slice jalapeño crosswise into rounds, removing ribs and seeds for less heat. Zest and quarter lime. • Dice chicken* into ½-inch pieces.

• In a small microwave-safe bowl, combine jalapeño, juice from half the lime, ¼ tsp sugar, and a pinch of salt. Microwave for 30 seconds. Set aside, stirring occasionally, until ready to serve. • In a second small bowl, combine sour cream with lime zest. Season with salt and pepper. Stir in water 1 tsp at a time until mixture reaches a drizzling consistency.

• Heat a drizzle of oil in a large, preferably nonstick, pan over medium heat. Add chicken and chili powder; season with salt and pepper. Cook until warmed through, 2-3 minutes. • Turn off heat; transfer to a medium bowl. Stir in BBQ sauce to coat. Season with salt and pepper. Wipe out pan.

• Place tortillas on a clean work surface. Evenly sprinkle Mexican cheese onto one half of each tortilla. Top with chicken mixture. (TIP: If you like things spicy, add some pickled jalapeño while assembling!) Fold tortillas in half to create quesadillas.

• Heat a large drizzle of oil in pan used for chicken over medium heat. Add quesadillas and cook until tortillas are golden brown and cheese has melted, 3-4 minutes per side. TIP: Depending on the size of your pan, you may need to work in batches.
