The jalapeno popper craze continues. And every day we get nearer to my dream of opening up a restaurant called Poppers. Which serves only food designed around the delicious flavors of cream cheese and jalapeno.  

As of today, we can add the quesadilla to our ever-expanding list.  

Time You Need  

  • Prep: ~5 minutes  
  • Cooking: ~20 minutes 
  • Yields 3 Quesadillas  

What You Need 

  • 1 ½ cups of diced jalapeno (canned) 
  • 2 12 oz cans of chicken, drained 
  • 6 oz room temp cream cheese 
  • 6 tortillas  
  • 1/2 tsp cayenne pepper  
  • ½ tsp garlic salt  
  • 1 tbsp mayo 

What You Do 

  • Preheat oven to 450.  
  • In a large mixing bowl, combine chicken, cream cheese and diced jalapeno and seasonings. Mix together thoroughly to form a sort of chicken salad consistency.  
  • Then spread evenly over three tortillas. Top each tortilla with another tortilla to form the quesadilla.  
  • Place quesadillas on 1-2 greased baking sheets. Cook for about 20 minutes at 450, or until golden brown. You can also broil on high for the last five minutes or so to achieve a crispy crust quicker.  
  • Slice up, serve, and enjoy!
