Ingredients

1 unit

Red Onion

4 ounce

Pineapple

1 unit

Roma Tomato

1 unit

Lime

6 ounce

Chicken Breasts

1 cup

Mozzarella Cheese

(ContainsMilk)

1 tablespoon

Southwest Spice Blend

Instructions

Wash and dry all produce. Preheat broiler to high or oven to 500 degrees. Halve, peel, and thinly slice onion. Mince a few slices until you have 2 TBSP, then set this aside in a small bowl. Core, seed, and thinly slice bell pepper. Drain pineapple. Cut half the chicken into ½-inch cubes (use the rest as you like).

Heat a drizzle of oil in a large pan over medium-high heat. Add sliced red onion and bell pepper. Cook, tossing occasionally, until softened, 4-5 minutes. Season with salt and pepper. Add pineapple and cook, tossing, until lightly browned, 2-3 minutes. Season with salt and pepper. Remove from pan and set aside.

While veggies cook, finely chop tomato and cilantro. Halve lime. Add tomato, half the cilantro, and a squeeze of lime to bowl with minced red onion. Toss to combine. Season with salt and pepper.

Add a drizzle of oil, chicken, and Southwest spice blend to same pan. Cook, tossing, until no longer pink in center, 3-4 minutes. Season with salt and pepper. Return veggies to pan along with a squeeze of lime and remaining cilantro. Toss to combine, then remove pan from heat.

Take 2 tortillas (we sent more) and rub one side of each with a drizzle of oil. Place oiled-side down on a baking sheet. Take half the mozzarella and sprinkle it on tortillas in an even layer. Top with filling, then sprinkle with remaining mozzarella. Fold tortillas in half to create two quesadillas.

Broil or bake quesadillas until golden brown on top, 1-2 minutes. Flip and repeat with other side. (TIP: Keep an eye on them to make sure they don’t burn.) Cut into wedges, then serve with pico de gallo and sour cream on the side.

Chicken Lo Mein

The secret to supremely slurpable, bouncy lo mein is thick, fresh noodles, which have a satisfying chewiness that you just can’t get with the skinny kind. That’s why our version is such a treat: you’ll be using wide udon noodles, which do an admirable job of soaking up the savory soy and hoisin sauce on each and every one of their squiggly curves. They’re tossed with green beans, carrots, mushrooms, and chicken for a bowlful of veggie- and protein-packed goodness. 12 ounce Chicken Tenders 8 ounce Udon Noodles ( Contains Wheat , Soy ) 2 clove Garlic 1 unit Vegetable Stock Concentrate 1 tablespoon Hoisin Sauce ( Contains Soy ) 4 ounce Shredded Carrots 6 ounce Green Beans 1 thumb Ginger 4 ounce Button Mushrooms 2 unit Scallions 1 tablespoon Soy Sauce ( Contains Soy ) Wash and dry all produce.
