Ingredients

• 2 pieces boneless, skinless chicken breasts
• 2 tablespoons chipotle peppers in adobo sauce
• 2 tablespoons olive oil
• 1 teaspoon ground cumin
• 1 teaspoon garlic powder
• 1 teaspoon onion powder
• 1 teaspoon salt
• 0.5 teaspoon black pepper
• 4 pieces large flour tortillas
• 2 cups dairy-free cheese shreds
• 0.5 pieces red onion, thinly sliced
• 1 pieces red bell pepper, thinly sliced
• 0.25 cup fresh cilantro, chopped
• 1 pieces avocado, sliced
• 1 pieces lime

Directions

Step 1

In a bowl, combine the chipotle peppers, olive oil, cumin, garlic powder, onion powder, salt, and black pepper.

Step 2

Add the chicken breasts to the bowl and coat them well with the marinade. Allow them to marinate for at least 15 minutes.

Step 3

Heat a grill or grill pan over medium-high heat. Cook the marinated chicken breasts for about 5-7 minutes on each side, or until fully cooked through and nicely charred. Remove from heat and let cool slightly.

Step 4

While the chicken cools, lay out the tortillas. On one half of each tortilla, evenly distribute a quarter of the dairy-free cheese, red onion slices, and red bell pepper slices.

Step 5

Once the chicken is cool enough to handle, slice it into thin strips and distribute evenly over the cheese and vegetable layers on each tortilla. Top with chopped cilantro.

Step 6

Fold the tortillas over to encase the fillings and press down gently.

Step 7

Heat a non-stick skillet over medium heat. Place a quesadilla in the pan and cook for 2-3 minutes on each side, or until the tortilla is golden brown and crispy, and the cheese has melted.

Step 8

Repeat the cooking process for the remaining quesadillas.

Step 9

Slice each quesadilla into thirds or quarters and serve warm with avocado slices and lime wedges on the side.
