Whoooo Hoooo, this Grilled Chipotle-Chicken Quesadillas recipe is super. It’s the “sauce” that makes these quesadillas unique.
Nobody else thought it was to hot. They just kept repeating “the chipotle sauce is Excellent!!”
It really adds a different layer to the quesadillas.
It has a wonderful flavor and even though I’m spice sensitive, I kept going back for more with a burning mouth and tears in my eyes.
Serve with Pico de gallo or your favorite salsa.

Grilled Chipotle-Chicken Quesadillas
Ingredients
- 4 boneless skinless chicken breast halves
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- salt & freshly ground black pepper
- 1 canned chipotle chile in adobo drained and minced
- 1/4 cup sour cream
- 1/4 cup mayonnaise
- 1 tablespoon lime juice
- 1 tablespoon chopped fresh cilantro
- 8 6 inch corn tortillas
- 2 cups grated monterey jack cheese
- pico de gallo or other salsa
Instructions
- Brush the chicken breasts with olive oil and sprinkle with salt and pepper. Lay the chicken on a grill over medium heat (you can hold you hand 1 or 2 inches above grill level only 4 to 5 seconds) or put chicken in a grill pan over medium heat. Cook chicken 4 to 5 minutes per side, or until cooked through (cut to check).
- Slice the cooked chicken breasts into 1/4 in.-thick slices. Keep grill or grill pan hot.
- In a small bowl, whisk together the chipotle chile, sour cream, mayonnaise, lime juice, and cilantro.
- Spread 1 tablespoon chipotle-lime sauce on each of the tortillas. Top 4 of the tortillas each with 1/2 cup cheese and a quarter of the chicken slices, then cover with the remaining tortillas (sauce side down).
- Put each quesadilla on a dinner plate.
- Slide the quesadillas off the plates onto the grill over medium heat, or slide into a grill pan over medium heat (you may need to grill the tortillas in batches).
- Grill uncovered turning once, until the cheese is melted and both sides are golden, about 2 minutes each side (use a large spatula and tongs to flip the quesadillas).
- If grilling in batches, keep finished quesadillas warm in a 200 degree oven until ready to serve.
- Slice each quesadilla into wedges and serve with salsa on the side.
