1

In medium bowl, mix chicken, roasted peppers and sour cream.
2

Heat 12-inch nonstick skillet over medium heat. To prepare each quesadilla, brush one side of tortilla with some of the oil. Place tortilla, oiled side down, in skillet. Brush 1 tablespoon enchilada sauce over entire tortilla. Top half of tortilla with 2 tablespoons cheese, 1/4 cup chicken mixture and 2 tablespoons more cheese. Fold other half of tortilla over filling, pressing down slightly.
3

Cook 2 to 3 minutes, turning once, until tortilla is golden brown and cheese is melted. Repeat to make remaining quesadillas. Cut each quesadilla into 4 wedges. Serve with salsa.

Expert Tips

You can use 2 cups chopped cooked chicken or turkey for the packaged seasoned chicken breast strips. Your quesadillas just won't have quite the same flavors.
