Margarita mix makes the chicken in these baked quesadillas fantastic! Cut into quarters to serve.

Ingredients

  • 1 cup bottled margarita mix
  • 2 tablespoons lemon juice
  • 2 tablespoons lime juice
  • 1 tablespoon garlic powder
  • 1 tablespoon vegetable oil
  • 2 skinless , boneless chicken breast halves - cut into bite-size pieces
  • 8 flours tortillas , 10 inch
  • 1 cup shredded Cheddar cheese
  • 1 cup shredded Monterey Jack cheese

Instructions

  1. 1

    Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C).

  2. 2

    Stir margarita mix, lemon juice, lime juice, and garlic powder together in a large bowl.

  3. 3

    Heat vegetable oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Cook and stir chicken in the hot oil until no longer pink in the center and juices run clear, 5 to 7 minutes. Drain excess oil from chicken. Pour margarita mixture into the skillet with chicken; simmer until most of margarita mixture is evaporated, 15 to 20 minutes. Transfer and drain chicken to a paper towel-lined plate.

  4. 4

    Layer 4 tortillas with chicken, Cheddar cheese, and Monterey Jack cheese; top with remaining 4 tortillas. Place the prepared quesadillas, 1 or 2 at a time, on a large baking sheet.

  5. 5

    Bake quesadillas in the preheated oven until cheese is melted, about 15 minutes. Repeat with remaining quesadillas; cut into quarters to serve.
