    Ingredients

    Serves:

    Directions

    Heat the oil in a large sauté pan over medium heat. Add the onion, sprinkle with salt, and sauté until tender, about 3 minutes. Add the garlic and sauté until the onions are translucent, about 2 minutes.

    Stir in the chipotle chiles then the tomatoes. Cook until most of the liquid from the tomatoes has evaporated and the mixture begins to thicken, stirring often, about 20 minutes.

    Stir in the green onions and honey. Stir in the chicken. Season to taste with salt and pepper. Keep warm.

    Heat a large flat griddle pan over medium-low heat. Lay 2 tortillas on the griddle and cook until hot but not crisp, about 2 minutes. Turn the tortillas over. Sprinkle 1/2 cup of the cheese over the bottom halves of the tortillas. Spoon about 3/4 cup of the chicken mixture in an even layer atop the cheese over each tortilla. Top each with 1/4 cup of cheese then with half of the avocado slices. Fold the tortillas over to cover the fillings and form a half-moon shape. Cook until the tortillas are crisp and golden and the cheese has melted, about 3 minutes on each side. Repeat to make 2 more quesadillas.

    Open the quesadillas and scatter the cilantro over the filling. Drizzle the crema over the filling then close the quesadillas.

    Cut the quesadillas into wedges. Serve with lime wedges and enjoy immediately.

    I followed this recipe to the letter, except to save a few calories I did not add the avocado. Delicious!! but had a lot more bite than I bargained for. Next time, I'll halve the amount of chipotle chiles.

    My family is a little on the picky side, but we tried this. We all loved it and had a great time making it. We normally would not eat all the onions and tomatoes but it was wonderful. We will make this again and again.

    Just finished up dinner and they are out of this world! I used three Chilis and it was a bit spicy but balanced with the honey. Not for the kids though! Next time I may only use 2 chilis. Thanks Curtis

    Chipotle chiles in adobo sauce are in small cans in your supermarket's Mexican food section.

    I tried this recipe several months ago and have made them five or six times since. If making them for children, I would advise going a light on the chipotle peppers. This has become a go-to recipe. The honey is key! Absolutely delicious!
