Cheesy Chipotle Chicken Quesadillas

Quesadillas are grilled cheese-filled tortillas that are popular in the Southwest, in Mexico, and, well, everywhere. I like mine with Monterrey Jack cheese, a portion of shredded roast chicken and a good dollop of Larry's Chipotle Sauce for that smoky flavor.

1 16 oz. jar Larry's Southwestern Chipotle Sauce
1 cup grated Monterrey Jack or mild cheddar cheese
2 cups shredded roast chicken
8 eight-inch wheat, whole wheat or mixed grain tortillas
2 Tblsp. vegetable oil

▪ Warm the jar of Larry's Chipotle Sauce to medium hot.
▪ Place one tortilla on your work surface and cover with 1/4 cup cheese, 1/2 cup chicken and 1/4 cup Larry's Chipotle Sauce.
▪ Cover with another tortilla and press down lightly.
▪ Warm 1/2 tablespoon oil in a 12" or larger skillet over medium heat.
▪ Place one quasadilla in the pan and cook for three minutes. Flip the quesadilla and cook until the cheese melts.
▪ Remove the quesadilla to your work surface, cut into quarters and artfully place them on a serving plate.
▪ Spoon another quarter cup of warm Larry's Chipotle Sauce into a little serving cup or on the side of the plate. Make the rest of the quesadillas the same way and serve.
▪ Dip the quesadillas in the sauce and enjoy.
▪ Serves 4.
