Tandoori Chicken Quesadillas

[heart_this] · May 8, 2010 · 25 Comments

Tandoori Chicken Quesadillas

Once the creative juices started flowing, they just kept on going and up next was tandoori chicken quesadillas. I made sure to include a bit of heat in the marinade for the tandoori chicken and of course the spicy chicken reminded me of texmex food, quesadillas in particular. I figured the spicy tandoori chicken would work well in a quesadilla but it seemed a little lonely and I thought that some sauteed onions and peppers would help round things out. After that it was just a matter of adding cheese, placing everything in between two tortillas and grilling it up. The spicy tandoori chicken worked really well in quesadilla form! It was just like a regular quesadilla except that the distinctly Indian flavours from the tandoori marinade were coming through. I served the quesadillas with a quick, finely diced pico de galo .

    Sometimes (often) I think I'd like to 'accidentally' run into you somewhere in Toronto, and 'just happen' to become friends. Because I really want to come over to your place and eat.

    I've never tried tandoori chicken before, but LOVE quesadillas!

    I think the best part about that is it's an easy thing to make after a long day at work!

    Nice one Kevin!

    I like both Indian and Mexican food. What a great idea to put both together in a form of Quesadillas!

    You have just reminded me of some Tandoori spice I have in the freezer needing to be used…I would love a plate of these!

    Beautiful site, and I also have a closet sized kitchen to cook out of, and no lighting what so ever!
