Servings: persons

1/4 cup Mayonnaise
2 tsp Minced jalapenos (jarred)
2 tsp Minced jalapeno juice
3/4 tsp Sugar
1 tsp Cumin
1/2 tsp Paprika
1/2 tsp Cayenne pepper
1/2 tsp Garlic powder
1 pinch Salt
8 Flour tortillas
1 as needed Taco seasoning
1 1/2 lb Chicken tenders
8 oz Shredded sharp cheddar cheese
8 oz Shredded Monterey Jack cheese
4 slice American cheese

1
Combine all the ingredients for the sauce and let sit in the refrigerator for at least an hour.
2
Season chicken with taco seasoning on both sides and pan fry in olive oil until cooked through.
3
Remove from heat and chop into smaller pieces.
4
Preheat a large nonstick skillet over medium heat.
5
One at a time, place a tortilla in preheated skillet and sprinkle 1/2 of the tortilla with both of the shredded cheeses and 1/2 of the American slice.
6
(I usually eyeball this because I tend to like mine on the cheesier side)
7
Place about 1/4 cup of chopped chicken on the same half as the cheese.
8
On the empty side of the tortilla spread the sauce.
9
I use about 1 1/2 tablespoons (that's the best part of a Taco Bell Quesadilla and they NEVER put enough on!!!
10
).
11
Fold the quesadilla over in 1/2 and pat down with a spatula.
12
Flip quesadilla over once to ensure both sides get crisped up.
13
Cook until the cheese is melted.
14
Cut into 4 pieces and enjoy.
