-
1
Heat 2 teaspoons vegetable oil in a medium saucepan over medium heat.
-
2
Saute red onion for about 2 to 3 minutes until soft.
-
3
Add garlic and saute for 1 more minute.
-
4
Add peach preserves, finely chopped chipotle peppers and sauce, lime juice, red wine vinegar, cumin, paprika, salt and pepper.
-
5
Bring to a simmer over medium heat, turn heat to low and simmer for about 10 minutes.
-
6
Remove from heat and stir in cilantro.
-
7
Mix shredded chicken in with the Chipotle Peach glaze (you will only want to use about 1/2 to 3/4 of a cup of the glaze depending on how saucy you like it).
-
8
Line a cookie sheet with foil (for easy clean up) and spray with cooking spray.
-
9
Place 4 tortillas on the cookie sheet.
-
10
It is fine if you have to use 2 cookie sheets you can just rotate the pans halfway through cooking.
-
11
Top each tortilla with 1 tablespoon of BBQ sauce and spread it around with the back of spoon, not going all the way to the edge.
-
12
Then top each tortilla with 1/2 cup of the chicken mixture and 1/2 cup cheese.
-
13
Place remaining tortillas on top and press down firmly.
-
14
Brush tops of the tortillas with softened butter.
-
15
Bake in a 375 degree F oven for about 15 minutes until tops are lightly browned.
-
16
Quesadillas can also be browned flipping once in an skillet or on a griddle over medium heat, and then kept in a warm oven while you cook the remaining quesadillas.
-
17
I prefer to bake them all at once so I dont have to mess with flipping them and I find they crisp up just fine in the oven.
-
18
Let them sit a few minutes before cutting each quesadilla into 6 wedges.
-
19
Garnish with fresh cilantro if desired.

Cooks note:
-
21
You wont use the entire can of chipotle peppers.
-
22
Line a cookie sheet with wax paper and place individual peppers with some juice in portions on the cookie sheet.
-
23
Then put the sheet in the freezer for a couple of hours.
-
24
You can then place the individually frozen peppers in a freezer bag.
-
25
Then you can just pop them out and thaw however many you need!
