For
the last few years I have been celebrating and hosting Newyear party at my
place with my friends and the last two year happened to be with my bloggers
gals. It was a potluck party this year and we all decided to try something new.
After a bit of brain storming Suchi suggested Mexican and we all nodded and
agreed. Till then I have only eaten Mexican and was not a big fan too. It was a total experiment and I couldn’t wait
to find out the outcome. I prepared Mexican rice and some Mexican Buffalo wings,
Suchi got some pork stew and Nachos and Nisha got us this chicken quesadilla
and Tresleche cake. Unlike Indian food I didn’t have to spend hours in Kitchen
to whip up those two things. That was the same case with others too. Our
Mexican themed party was a success in every way and my liking and outlook
towards Mexican food changed. The fact that it only takes less time to make them
was the best part for me. I have been making Mexican a lot ever since and this
Quesadilla is our favourite now. This recipe is from Nisha, I have only changed
the spice powder used. Do try this to fix a quick dinner on a lazy day.
Ingredients
Tortilla
wraps – 10
Chicken
thighs (boneless) – 500 gm (cut into small pieces)
Spinach
– 200 gm
Onion
(chopped) – 1 medium
Mexican
cheese (grated) – 150 gm (I used Cheddar cheese with jalapeno pepper)
Garlic
– 2 cloves (minced)
Fajita
mix – 1 packet or 4 tbsp (replace with some chicken masala if you don’t get it)
Method
- Marinate the chicken with Fajita mix for 30 mins.
- In a pan add some oil and sauté onions until soft
- Add minced garlic and fry until raw smell goes.
- Add Chicken and spinach and cook until chicken is cooked. It should be dry.
- Place the tortilla wrap on a pan and spread the chicken on top of it.
- Sprinkle some cheese on top and place another wrap on top of it. Cheese will melt and the wraps will stick to each other. Flip it once until the wraps are slightly brown and crispy.
- Transfer it into a plate and cut into four slices. Serve hot.

You are on the roll girl! Good going :-)
Quesadillas are my easy to go resort on busy days. I always keep Mexican cheese blend in my refrigerator and makes them with whatever I have in my refrigerator. I even use the Keema and it comes out good with some Indian touch :)
These Quesadillas looks super yum. With the chicken thigh meat the wraps tastes irresistible.
Lovely looking and mouthwatering to look at chicken and spinach quasadillas. take a bow.
