Cheesy Chipotle Adobo Chicken Quesadillas

Ingredients:

• 2 tablespoons olive oil
• 1 pound boneless, skinless chicken tenders or small breasts
• 1 poblano pepper, sliced
• 1 (14-ounce) can fire-roasted diced tomatoes
• 2 chipotle peppers in adobo, chopped
• 1 teaspoon chili powder
• 1 teaspoon dried oregano
• 1 teaspoon cumin
• 1 teaspoon kosher salt
• 1 teaspoon black pepper
• 1/4 cup fresh cilantro, chopped
• 8 small corn or flour tortillas
• 1 cup white or brown rice
• 1 cup shredded cheddar cheese
• 1 cup plain Greek yogurt
• Zest of 1 lime
• Diced mango, pickled red onion, jalapeños, cilantro, and limes, for serving

Optional additions:

• 1/4 cup chopped green onions
• 1/4 cup crumbled queso fresco
• 1/4 cup sour cream

Instructions:

1. Sauté chicken and poblano: Heat olive oil in a medium-sized pot over high heat. Add chicken and season with salt and pepper. Cook until seared on both sides, about 3 minutes per side. Add poblano pepper and cook 3-4 minutes, or until charred.
2. Make chicken filling: Reduce heat to medium. Add tomatoes, 1/2 cup water, chipotle peppers, chili powder, oregano, cumin, salt, and pepper. Simmer for 15-20 minutes, or until chicken is cooked through and shreds easily. Shred chicken in the pot. Remove from heat and stir in cilantro.
3. Prepare quesadillas: Preheat oven to 450°F (230°C). On a baking sheet, rub tortillas with remaining olive oil. Lay 4 tortillas flat and then layer evenly with cheese, rice, and chicken. Add the top tortilla.
4. Bake quesadillas: Bake for 5-8 minutes, then flip and cook another 5 minutes, or until cheese is melted and tortillas are crisp.
5. Make yogurt sauce: Meanwhile, stir together yogurt and lime zest. Season to taste with salt.
6. Serve: Serve quesadillas topped with diced mango, jalapeños, fresh cilantro, yogurt sauce, and optional additions.

Optional additions:

• For extra flavor: Add chopped green onions or crumbled queso fresco.
• For a creamier sauce: Use a combination of Greek yogurt and sour cream.
• For a spicier kick: Add a pinch of cayenne pepper or red pepper flakes to the chicken filling.
