Tequila Chicken Quesadillas

Recipe courtesy George Stella


Make the soy flour flat bread: In a medium bowl, whisk together the soy flour, sugar
substitute, salt, eggs, heavy cream, and club soda to make a smooth, thick, pancake-like
batter. Spray pizza pans generously with the vegetable oil spray. Using a rubber spatula,
spread the batter as thinly and evenly as possible over the 2 pans. Bake for about 12 to
15 minutes, or until lightly golden brown and firm to touch.

In a large saute pan or wok, heat oil over high heat. Season the chicken with salt,
pepper, cayenne, cumin, and garlic, and add to the hot oil. Next add the peppers and
onions, and remove pan from the heat and add tequila. Cook for about 5 minutes, or until
chicken is cooked thoroughly. Keep warm.

Cut 1 flat bread into 4 pieces. On 2 pieces, layer cheese, cooked chicken mixture, and
more cheese, and cover with the other 2 pieces. (Wrap the other flatbread and freeze for
another use).

Lastly, melt butter until very hot in a saute pan over medium-high heat. Add quesadillas
and cook for about 2 minutes on each side until toasty and the cheese is melted. Cut
quesadillas into 3 pieces each and serve. Garnish with cilantro and scallions, and serve
with salsa picante, guacamole, and sour cream, if desired.
