Ingredients
2	teaspoons vegetable oil
1	pound boneless skinless chicken breasts
1/4	cup chopped fresh cilantro
1/4	teaspoon ground cumin
8	flour tortillas (8 inches in diameter)
2	tablespoons vegetable oil
1	cup shredded Monterey Jack cheese (4 ounces)

1. Heat 2 teaspoons oil in 10-inch skillet over medium-high heat. Cook chicken breasts, cilantro and cumin in oil 15 to 20 minutes, turning chicken once and stirring cilantro mixture occasionally, until juice of chicken is no longer pink when centers of thickest pieces are cut. Shred chicken into small pieces; mix chicken and cilantro mixture.
2. Brush 1 side of 1 tortilla with some of the 2 tablespoons oil; place oil side down in same skillet. Layer with one-fourth of the chicken mixture, 1/4 cup of the cheese and 1/4 of the chilies to within 1/2 inch of edge of tortilla. Top with another tortilla; brush top of tortilla with oil. Cook over medium-high heat 4 to 6 minutes, turning after 2 minutes, until light golden brown.
3. Repeat with remaining tortillas, chicken mixture, cheese and chilies. Cut quesadillas into wedges. Serve with salsa.
4. Serve it up on your favorite Dixie product for a delicious mom moment that's clean up-easy.

Kitchen Tips

Simplify
A pancake griddle or large cook-top grill that fits over two burners makes quick work out of cooking many quesadillas at one time.

Special Touch
Offer a taste option to regular salsas. Corn salsa and southwest relish make great toppers for the chicken quesadillas.
