Spicy Quesadillas


Bobby Flay's Mesa Grill Cookbook (page 82) brings us Spicy Chicken with Caramelized Onion  Quesadillas with Mixed Tomato Salsa. This was quick and easy. Great for a weeknight after work. The chicken was grilled over direct heat, but at a low setting. The onions, also over direct heat. The salsa was just chopped tomatoes, lime juice, garlic, chopped jalapeno chilies, cilantro, salt and pepper. When the chicken was done I sliced both the chicken and onions into strips. With everything ready, I assembled everything together in a whole wheat tortilla and added shredded Monterey Jack cheese. It was not too spicy, but the quesadillas did have a kick. The whole meal took less that 20 minutes to prepare - so like I said a great, fast weeknight grill.

Weather Report. Pollen. Where we are the tree pollen is everywhere. I heard that the especially cold and wet winter we had has made the kick-off of allergy season worse. Thunderstorms rolled through the other night and cleared the air some - but that yellow pollen didn't wash all away completely - instead it piled up between the bricks in the courtyard. The storms did bring cooler weather - great grilling weather! Paul
