My first quesadilla on the EGG!

So Cal EGGhead

I was attemting to recreate a recipe I did not get to try this weekend at the EGGfest in Southern California. I heard so many great things about it, but never had the opportunity to sample it.

I cooked two chicken breasts at 300 with a hint of apple smoke. Cooked them so perfectly that the juices ran all over the darn cutting board. I prepared two large tortillas by coating outside with a brush of olive oil, then placed my cheese mixture onto the tortilla, followed by chicken breast I shred. It only took about 10 minutes for each one to cook. they turned out beautifully!

I learned very quickly to mash the tortillas together to get the cheese to stick to the other side. Otherwise, you could lose your ingredients while flipping. THE EGG RULES! Everyone loved them.

Dale, I could not figure out when and where, or what type of chorizo to toss in there. Therefore, it was omitted from my attempt at a recreation. They still rocked and my family was happy with the results.

Thanks!

Did you do 2 different type of quesadilla's? One with chicken and cheese and one with chorizo and onion? Or just one with chicken, chorizo, cheese and onion? Either way I'm sure they're delicious!!
