Ingredients:

Serving

1 (4 oz) can diced green chilies
1 1/2 cups shredded monterey jack cheese
6 8- inch flour tortillas
1 cup shredded cooked chicken meat
1 small tomato, seeded and chopped
2 green onions, finely chopped
2 tbsp chopped fresh cilantro
butter or margarine
guacamole (for garnish ) (optional)
sour cream (for garnish ) (optional)
salsa (for garnish ) (optional)

Directions:

Heat a skillet over low heat.
Spread a small amount of butter evenly over one side of tortilla and place tortilla buttered side down in the skillet.
For each tortilla, sprinkle 1/4 cup cheese over 1/2 of the tortilla and top with chopped chilies, chicken, tomato, green onions, and cilantro.
Fold the other side over the top and press down gently.
Cook quesadilla over low heat 3-4 minutes or until lightly browned, turning once.
Remove quesadilla from skillet and keep warm on a plate in a low oven (300F).
Repeat with remaining tortillas.
When finished, serve quesadillas cut in three sections (using a pizza cutter works great) and garnished with guacamole, sour cream and salsa, if desired.
