    Utensils Used
    | 1. Dice chicken. Add lime juice, and creole seasoning. (This is not meant to be a marinade). | 2. Heat oil in skillet. Add chicken. Cook until juices run clear. Add pico de gallo, and mild picante sauce. | 3. Let simmer, uncovered, for about 5 minutes, stirring occasionally. | 4. The next part I used my quesadilla maker to finish off: | 5. Add cheese to one tortilla, spoon the meat filling on top, then top with another layer of cheese and another tortilla. | 6. Cook until cheese is melted. | 7. Repeat with remaining ingredients. | 8. Alternative way for those without a quesadilla maker: | 9. In a heavy skillet, heat one flour tortilla. | 10. Spread 1/4 cup shredded cheese on the tortilla and top with 1/2 the chicken mixture. | 11. Sprinkle another 1/4 cup cheese over the chicken and top with another tortilla. | 12. When bottom tortilla is lightly brown and cheese has started to melt, flip quesadilla and cook on the opposite side. | 13. Remove quesadilla from skillet and cut into quarters. Repeat with remaining ingredients. | 14. Serve with sour cream, salsa and chips, or alone. | 15. Recipe alternative for more spice: | 16. Try adding diced jalepeno peppers to the mix or more creole seasoning. | ---------------------------------------------------------------------------
