Ingredients

4 tbsp olive oil

1 onion, chopped

1 garlic clove, minced

Salt and pepper for seasoning

2 cups shredded cooked chicken

1 cup wild rice, cooked

1 cup shredded pepper-jack cheese

6 multigrain tortillas

Reduced fat sour cream

Salsa

Lime wedges

Cilantro for garnish

Instructions
  1. Cook onion and garlic in 2 tbsp olive oil over medium heat until tender and fragrant. Season with salt and pepper.
  2. In a large bowl, mix together chicken, rice, onion mixture, and cheese.
  3. Put 1 tortilla on a cutting board and spread ½ cup chicken mixture over half of the tortilla, then fold over and press firmly on the seam. Assemble additional tortillas.
  4. Heat remaining oil in a large skillet over high heat, then reduce to medium and cook quesadillas, 1 or 2 at a time, depending on how large your pan is. Cook until the cheese is melted and the tortilla is golden brown, about 2 minutes per side.
  5. Transfer to cutting board and cut in half. Serve with sour cream, salsa, and lime wedges. Garnish with cilantro.
