Cooking Steps

Prep
1
    • Wash and dry produce.

    • Halve, peel, and thinly slice onion. Finely dice tomato. Trim and thinly slice scallions. Roughly chop cilantro. Drain and finely dice mandarin orange. Quarter lime.

Cook Chicken
2
    • Open package of chicken* and drain off any excess liquid.
    • Heat a drizzle of oil in a large pan over medium-high heat. Add chicken, onion, Southwest Spice Blend, salt, and pepper. Cook, stirring occasionally, until browned and cooked through, 4-6 minutes.

    • Add Ā¼ cup water (½ cup for 4 servings); cook until evaporated, 1-2 minutes. Turn off heat; transfer to a large bowl.

  • Halve, peel, and thinly slice onion. Trim and thinly slice scallions. Finely dice tomato. Quarter lime. Drain mandarins; cut each segment into small pieces. Roughly chop cilantro.

3
    • Place tortillas on a clean work surface; sprinkle one half of each tortilla with Mexican cheese blend and chicken mixture.

    • Fold tortillas in half to create quesadillas.

    • Heat a drizzle of oil in pan used for chicken over medium heat. Add quesadillas and cook until tortillas are golden brown and cheese melts, 1-2 minutes per side. TIP: Depending on the size of your pan, you may need to work in batches.

  • Meanwhile, in a small bowl combine, mandarins, tomatoes, scallions, cilantro, juice from half the lime and salt.
