Cumin-Crusted Chicken Cheddar Quesadillas W/ Basil Sour Cream, Recipe courtesy of Chef Jack McDavid, Jacks Firehouse, Philadelphia, on behalf of the American Dairy Association, TEN stars! First, I should say I’m not a melty cheese kind of person I don’t like melty cheese However, DH does So these quesadillas were a nod to him They are, simply, fantastic All of the individual pieces of this recipe stand alone The chicken is moist, flavorful, and I could eat it on the plate all by itself The mushrooms – well- they’re mushrooms and onions What could be bad? Together they’re a match made in heaven And the sour cream-basil sauce? Heaven on earth I ate more of everything than I should have And I will make the sour cream sauce all by itself – to put on almost anything Delish! Thanks so much for posting!!!
