So there is this restaurant in New Hampshire that I love, called Margaritaville. So when I was there I had this smoked turkey apple quesadillas, that were absolutely amazing. I decided to try and recreate them, but took a few liberties and they turned out rather different, but still amazingly delicious, definitely the best thing I've made thus far this summer.
The Ingredients
.5 lb chopped chicken breasts
half a lime
2 teaspoons cumin
Flour Tortillas
Dried Cranberries
Spoonful of Brown Sugar
1 Granny Smith Apple finely chopped
1 red or orange pepper finely chopped
Grated Cheddar Cheese
Roasted Sunflower Seeds (or Pepitas)
Vegetable Oil
Chop the chicken into thing little strips, cook on the stove with the juice from half a lime and the 2 teaspoons of cumin.
Chop the apple and pepper, and grate plenty of cheddar.
The cranberries go on top of the quesadilla, to prepare them properly you need to pour them (however many you want) into a sauce pan, and cover them with water. Mix in a heaping spoonful of brown sugar and stir until well dissolved. Boil the water, stirring as needed, until all that is left are the now mushier cranberries and a red syrup. Set aside.
Using a large frying pan, coat the outside of a tortilla with vegetable oil (very little oil is needed, just enough to make it slightly shimmery). Place the oil side down on the frying pan, put a layer of cheese on the tortilla, then add chicken to one side, put apple and pepper slices on the other side. Cover with a thin layer of cheese. Fold the quesadilla in half, and make sure each side of the tortilla is slightly browned/oranged (not burnt!).
When you serve, cover the top with the dried cranberries and sprinkle the sunflower/pepita seeds on top of that.
Eat! Its delicious, I hope those instructions made sense :)
