Pickled Jalapenos

We are obsessed with pickled jalapeños in our house! We go through so many jars that we make our own. It is an easy recipe that you will love.

If you can’t find pickled jalapeños or don’t want to make them, you can replace them with some green chiles and the pickled jalapeño juice with a little vinegar.

To Use Quesadilla Sauce

Place a large skillet that you can fit with a lid over very low heat.
Add 1 to 2 tablespoons to a tortilla shell.
Spray the skillet with a very small amount of cooking spray. Place the tortilla (that has been prepared with the sauce) in the skillet. Add about 2/3 cup of a cheese, 1/3 a cup of chicken and a little more cheese. Top with a second tortilla shell.
Let it cook for about two minutes or until the shell begins to turn golden brown. Cover while it is cooking. Flip it over, recover, and cook for another two minutes. Repeat with the other prepared tortillas.
Slice with a pizza cutter and enjoy.
