• Wash and dry produce. • Halve, peel, and finely dice shallot. Roughly chop cilantro.
• Open package of chicken* and drain off any excess liquid. • Heat a large drizzle of oil in a large pan over medium-high heat. Add chicken; season with Fry Seasoning, salt, and pepper. Cook, stirring occasionally, until browned and cooked through, 4-6 minutes. • Turn off heat; transfer to a plate. Wipe out pan.
• Place tortillas on a clean work surface. Sprinkle half the mozzarella onto one half of each tortilla. Top with chicken, shallot, BBQ sauce, and half the cilantro. Sprinkle with remaining mozzarella. Fold tortillas in half to create quesadillas. • Heat a drizzle of oil and ½ TBSP butter in pan used for chicken over medium heat. Add quesadillas and cook until golden brown on one side, 1-2 minutes. • Add another ½ TBSP butter and flip; cook until golden brown and cheese melts, 1-2 minutes more. TIP: Depending on the size of your pan, you may need to work in batches, adding more oil and butter for each batch. • Transfer to a paper-towel-lined plate.
• Cut quesadillas into wedges. • Divide quesadillas between plates. Drizzle with smoky red pepper crema and garnish with remaining cilantro. Serve.
