Bajio Chicken Green Chile Quesadillas

Two Grilled Chicken Breasts
1 cup lime juice
¾ cup oil (olive or veg.) plus 2 T.
3-4 oz. Roasted Green Chiles
10 oz. can Green Chile Enchilada Sauce (Old El Paso)
1 cup of Caramelized Onions
3 cups Shredded Cheddar Jack Cheese
8 uncooked Flour Tortillas

Marinate Chicken Breasts in 1 cup of lime juice and 3/4 cup oil, let stand for at least two three in the refrigerator.
On a hot grill, grill the chicken until done and set aside to rest.
Once the chicken has had time to rest and cool, cut or shred into small pieces.
Slice 1 whole white onion into 1⁄4” slices. In a medium sauté pan, add 2 TBL spoons of oil and sauté the onions until they are translucent.
Once the onions are done, add the shredded chicken, chiles, and sauce, and sauté all together until well heated.
Cook each tortilla and add shredded cheese to one side. Spoon in warm chicken mixture, fold the tortilla over and cook. Cut into 4 wedges and serve with garnishes such as sour cream, salsa, or lettuce.
