Chicken and Brie Quesadillas

Servings: 6          Prep Time: 25 min.          Cook Time: 10 min.
Try this great quesadilla variation with homemade chipotle salsa (the salsa needs to chill for 1 hour before serving). If you want to simplify this recipe a bit, you can buy store bought salsa which would eliminate the first six ingredients.

1. For the salsa - stir together first 6 ingredients, 1/4 cup of the green onions, and a little less than the 1/4 cup of cilantro (leave a little to sprinkle in the tortillas). Cover and chill salsa for at least 1 hour.
2. Stir together remaining green onion, cooked and finely chopped chicken, and diced green chiles.
3. Place 4 tortillas on a large, lightly greased baking sheet. Top each evenly with brie and chicken mixture. Sprinkle with a little extra cilantro and top with remaining 4 tortillas, pressing down slightly on each.
4. Bake at 425 degrees for 8-10 minutes or until cheese melts. Cut each into wedges and serve with salsa.

Cooking option: Cook two quesadillas at a time (each folded in half) in a skillet coated with cooking spray.

Note: Use rotisserie chicken as a quick solution for the chopped chicken in this recipe. Also, put the brie cheese in the freezer for 15 minutes to make it easier to dice.
Suggested Side: tropical fruit
