Instructions

    Cup of Yum
  1. In a bowl, combine the chicken, chili powder, chipotles in adobo (this makes it hot!) honey, a big pinch of salt and pepper and garlic powder.
  2. Heat olive oil or butter in a skillet over medium-low heat. To make the quesadillas, place a sprinkling of cheese on a tortilla, then some of the chicken mixture, some of the corn and peppers and top with another sprinkling of cheese. Top with another tortilla!
  3. Cook the quesadilla on both sides until golden and crispy. Serve with shredded lettuce, pickled onions, salsa ranch or anything else you love!
