Mango Habanero Chicken Quesadillas with Fresh Guacamole

                    Mango Habanero Chicken Quesadillas with Guacamole

       Tonight's dinner is mango habanero chicken quesadillas with guacamole and sour cream, I served it with fresh pineapple spears as well. It got a thumbs up from the husband but thumbs down from the picky 3 year old, the 1 year old loved it but he will eat anything:) I thought it was really good, but what do I know?;)
       First is the guacamole, my mom taught me how to make it but we never really had a recipe, so tonight I measured everything when making it so that I could share the recipe. The Quesadillas are something I made up wanting to use some of the BWW mango habanero sauce that my mom sent me.

Mom's Guacamole
2 avacados
1/4 cup chopped onion
2 small tomatos (or 1 large) diced, seeds removed
1-2 tablespoons lime juice
1/4 teaspoon chili powder
seasoning salt and pepper to taste

In a bowl mash the avacado with a fork, then add the rest of the ingredients and stir until well blended. You can also add cilantro or more or less chili powder depending on taste. Put it in the fridge untill ready to eat, it's that simple!

Mango Habanero Chicken Quesadillas   (makes 4)
12 ounces chicken breast or tenders
2 tablespoons mango habanero sauce
1-2 teaspoons honey
1 cup shredded chedder cheese
8 small corn tortillas
cooking spray

Preheat oven to 425 degrees. Cook Chicken on the stove untill cooked through, remove from pan and cut into small peices, then return it to the pan. Stir in the mango habanero sauce and honey until chicken is coated. (The honey is to make it a little less spicy so add more or less depending on how spicy you want it.)
place 4 of the tortillas on a sheet pan and spray one side of each tortilla with the cooking spray then turn them over so that the sprayed side is down. Add 1/4 of chicken to each tortilla in an even layer. Cover each one with 1/4 cup of cheese. Place one of the remaining tortillas on top of each one, spray the tops with cooking spray. Bake for 10 minutes. When finished, cut into quarters and serve with the guacamole and some sour cream.
    *The mango habanero sauce I use is from buffalo wild wings. I kow not everyone will have that in their fridge, but any similar type of sauce will do just fine. It doesn't even have to be mango habanero you could do any sauce or seasonings you like. I also made the kids quesadillas with just the plain chicken before adding the sauce so that their's wouldn't be spicy. To make this healthier I used lowfat chedder cheese and light sour cream.

Hello!

I've decided to start a food blog...because I love to cook! I have enjoyed cooking for my family and friends ever since I was a little girl. I love to get creative in the kitchen, I have a hard time following a recipe word for word. I often add my own touches and ideas, and sometimes what comes out of it is pretty amazing! I've recently started trying to make healthier foods for myself and my family, I'm actually enjoying trying to make the foods that I already love into healthier versions. I am finding that I can eat healthier and more nutrionally balanced meals that are still full of the flavor! I will start this blog journey by posting what I make for dinner every night. Sometimes it will be a recipe that I found somewhere else, if so, I will post that recipe (and more often than not, how I changed it). Sometimes it will be my own creation and I will do my best to make out recipes for those too. I will also explain how easy or hard the meal is to make and how it turned out in the end. My taste testers are my Husband and my picky 1 and 3 year old boys! I hope you enjoy making dinner with me!
