Ingredients:
* 2 chicken breasts * 1 clove of garlic * ½ teaspoon cumin * 1 teaspoon paprika * ¼ teaspoon chili powder * ¼ teaspoon salt * 2 tablespoons canola oil * 4 tortillas * Grated cheddar (older the better) * 2 tomatoes (diced)
Directions:
To prepare the chicken, cut each chicken breast in half width-wise so you have 4 flat thin pieces of chicken. With a mortar and pestle make a paste with the garlic, chili, salt and cumin. In a large bowl add the paste, the chicken and 1 tablespoon of oil, then get in with your hands and rub the oil and paste into the chicken. (It would probably be even better left over night in the fridge…but i was in a hurry.) Place another tablespoon of oil into a frying pan and fry the chicken. When the chicken is cooked through, remove from the frying pan and dice into small pieces. Preheat a frying pan on medium. Place one tortilla into the pan and then sprinkle a generous amount of cheese, half the chicken and half the tomatoes on to the tortilla and then top with a second tortilla. Press it flat. Fry until the tortilla turns brown, flip and fry the other side. Repeat the above steps with the second quesadilla.
