Salsa
1 11 oz can Mandarin oranges
1 tablespoon fresh cilantro
1 tablespoon lime juice
2 pinches cayenne pepper (optional)
Quesadilla filling + tortillas
3/4 cup shredded colby-jack or cheddar cheese
1/4 cup feta cheese, crumbled
2/3 cup pitted dates, chopped fine
1/4 pound thinly sliced deli smoked chicken, diced
2 tablespoons green onion, sliced thin
1 teaspoon ground cumin
4 8-inch wheat or white flour tortillas

1
Drain oranges well, chop fine
2
Chop cilantro
3
In small bowl, combine oranges, cilantro, lime juice, and cayenne.
4
Pre-heat oven to 375.
5
In medium bowl, combine the cheeses, chicken, dates, onions, and cumin.
6
Place two tortillas on large baking sheet.
7
Sprinkle half the filling on each tortilla, leaving 1/2 inch around the edge.
8
Dampen the outer edges with a little water. Top with the other two tortillas, and press to seal.

Drain salsa, and serve over or on the side. Enjoy!

This is a footnote, not a step. If you are using commercially packaged smoked deli chicken, it will usually have some added water. A quick flash in the micro between paper towels will solve this. Also, leftover roast chicken breast works great, too.
