This recipe makes great use of rotisserie chicken, available at most supermarkets.

Ingredients

  • 3 1/2 cups shredded cooked rotisserie chicken (from a 2 1/2-lb bird)
  • 3/4 teaspoon salt
  • 1/2 teaspoon black pepper
  • 1 large onion, halved lengthwise and thinly sliced crosswise
  • 2 tablespoons vegetable oil
  • 2 large garlic cloves, thinly sliced
  • 5 oz coarsely grated Monterey Jack cheese (with or without hot peppers; 2 cups)
  • 8 (7-inch) flour tortillas
  • Special equipment: a well-seasoned ridged grill pan
  • Accompaniments: sour cream; salsa; fresh cilantro sprigs
  • Garnish: lime wedges

Instructions

  1. Sprinkle chicken with 1/2 teaspoon salt and 1/4 teaspoon pepper.
  2. Cook onion with remaining 1/4 teaspoon salt and 1/4 teaspoon pepper in oil in a 10- to 12-inch skillet over moderate heat, stirring occasionally, until golden, about 6 minutes. Add garlic and cook, stirring, until fragrant, about 1 minute, then transfer to a large bowl. Add chicken to onion mixture along with cheese.
  3. Put 1 tortilla on a cutting board and spread 1/2 cup chicken mixture over half of tortilla, then fold other half over to form a half-moon, pressing firmly on seam. Assemble 7 more quesadillas in same manner.
  4. Heat lightly oiled grill pan over high heat until it begins to smoke, then reduce heat to moderate and grill quesadillas, 2 at a time, turning over once, until cheese is melted and golden brown grill marks appear, about 4 minutes total per batch. Transfer with a spatula to cutting board and cut in half.
