Creamy Jalapeno Sauce
1/4 cup mayonnaise
2 teaspoons minced jalapeno slices (bottled)
2 teaspoons juice from jalapeno slices (from the bottle)
3/4 teaspoon sugar
1/2 teaspoon paprika
1/2 teaspoon ground cumin
1/8 teaspoon cayenne pepper
1/8 teaspoon garlic powder
pinch salt

Chicken
4 chicken breast tenderloins
vegetable oil
salt and pepper
4 large flour tortillas (10-inch)
1 cup shredded cheddar cheese
1 cup shredded Monterey Jack cheese
2 slices American cheese

1. Prepare the creamy jalapeno sauce by combining all the ingredients in a small bowl. Cover and chill so the flavors develop. Stir occasionally.

2. Preheat your barbecue grill to medium heat.

3. Rub the chicken tenderloins with vegetable oil. Salt and pepper both sides of each tenderloin. Grill for 3 to 5 minutes per side. When the chicken is done, slice it very thin.

4. When you are ready to build your quesadillas, preheat a 12-inch skillet over medium-low heat. 

5. When the pan is hot, lay one tortilla in the pan. Arrange about 1/4 cup of shredded cheddar cheese and 1/4 cup of shredded jack cheese on half of the tortilla. Tear up half a slice of American cheese and arrange it on the other cheeses. 

6.  Arrange about 1/4 cup of sliced chicken over the cheese.

7. Spread about 1 tablespoon of jalapeno sauce over the tortilla on the half with no ingredients on it.

8. Fold the sauced-covered half of the tortilla over onto the ingredients on the other half and press down with a spatula. Cook for about 1 minute, then turn the quesadilla over and cook for a couple more minutes, or until the cheese inside is melted. Slice into 4 pieces and serve hot. Repeat with the remaining ingredients.

Makes 4 quesadillas.

Tidbits: Look for bottled jalapeno slices. They are sometimes called "nacho slices" and can be found near the pickles in your supermarket.
