  • 1 tablespoon(s) , Canola Oil
  • 1/4 cup(s) , Red Onions Diced
  • 1 teaspoon(s) , Garlic Chopped
  • 1 small , Jalapeno Pepper Diced

  • 1 1/2 cup(s) , Chicken Meat Cooked and Shredded
  • 1/4 cup(s) , Scallions Sliced
  • 3/4 cup(s) , Gruyere Cheese Shredded
  • 1 teaspoon(s) , Salt and Pepper
  • 6 medium , Flour Tortillas
  • 2 tablespoon(s) , Butter Melted
  • 1/4 cup(s) , Sour Cream

Instructions:
For the salsa: Toss the pears with the canola oil. Place the pears on a hot grill or grill pan. Grill for 3 minutes per side. Remove from the grill and cool.

Chop grilled pears into small pieces and place in a small bowl. Add red onions, garlic, jalapeno, oregano, and lemon juice. Mix well. Season with salt and pepper. Refrigerate for 30 minutes before serving.

For the quesadillas: Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F.

Mix the shredded chicken, green onions, and Gruyere together. Season with salt and pepper.

Lay 3 of the tortillas on a flat surface. Spread the chicken mixture evenly on each tortilla. Top each with another tortilla. Press down firmly. Brush the top of each quesadilla with some of the melted butter.

Place the quesadillas on a baking sheet and bake until tortilla is golden brown and the cheese is melted, about 10 minutes. Remove from the oven and slice each into 4 pieces. Garnish each piece with a tablespoon of the grilled pear salsa.
