Chicken Quesadillas

2 chicken breast, boneless, skinless

1/2 t. onion powder

1/2 t. cumin

1/2 t. garlic powder

cooking spray

8 oz. tomato sauce

1 jalapeno, chopped, stemmed, seeded

1/8 t. black pepper

6 whole wheat tortillas (10 inch)

6 oz. Monterey Jack cheese, reduced fat, grated

1 can peaches, drained, rinsed (15 oz)

1/4 c. red bell pepper, minced

1/4 c. green onion, sliced


Season chicken with onion powder, cumin and garlic powder.  Cook chicken in a skillet sprayed with cooking spray over medium heat for about 5 minutes on each side until cooked through.  Let cool slightly and cut into bite size strips. Simmer tomato sauce with jalapeno pepper and black pepper for 15 minutes in a saucepan. Add chicken to tomato sauce mixture and toss well to coat.  Place tortillas on a flat surface. Top half of each tortilla with equal amounts of cheese, peaches, red bell pepper, green onion and chicken; fold over tortilla.  Cook in a large skillet on both sides until cheese is melted and tortilla is crisp, about 5 minutes.
