For salsa:

4 medium tomatoes, rinsed and diced (about 2 C)

½ C red onion, diced

1 medium Jalapeno chili pepper, rinsed and split lengthwise— removes seeds and white membrane, and minces (about 2 Tbsp); for less spice, use a green bell pepper

2 Tbsp lime juice (or about 4 limes)

2 Tbsp fresh cilantro, rinsed, dried, and chopped (or substitute 2 tsp dried coriander)

1 tsp ground cumin

For quesadillas:

12 oz boneless, skinless chicken breast, cut into thin strips

4 (10-inch) whole-wheat tortillas

¼ tsp salt

½ tsp chili sauce

2 oz pepper jack cheese, shredded (about ½ C)

1 Tbsp pine nuts, toasted (optional) Cooking spray

Preparation: 

1)       Preheat oven broiler on high temperature, with the rack 3 inches from heat source.

2)      For salsa, combine all ingredients and toss well. Chill in refrigerator for at least 15 minutes. (Salsa can be made up to 1 day in advance and refrigerated.)

3)      Cut chicken into thin strips, and place them on a baking sheet coated with cooking spray. Broil for 8–10 minutes.

4)      To assemble the quesadillas, place four whole-wheat tortillas on the countertop or table. Top each with one-quarter of the sliced cooked chicken, salt, chili sauce, cheese, and pine nuts (optional).

5)      Fold tortillas in half to close, and carefully transfer each to a baking sheet lined with parchment or wax paper

6)      Bake quesadillas at 350 ºF for 5–10 minutes or until the cheese is melted.

7)      Serve one quesadilla with ½ cup salsa on the side.

 Tip: Delicious with a side of fresh grilled corn-on-the-cob.
