Caribbean Chicken Quesadillas

I found this recipe online and altered it slightly. I came across this while searching for caribbean recipes for zwt5. edited to add: i made this a few days ago and found the mixture needed a little sweetness so i added a bit of honey. I think this may have been because my fruit was a little tart due to not being ripe enough. Just wanted to mention so that you can taste your mixture ahead of time and decide if you want a touch of sweet added before assembling.

Steps

Combine the chicken with all of the ingredients except tortillas.
Brush 1 side of each tortilla with vegetable oil.
On the non-oiled side , top half of each tortilla with the chicken mixture and fold in half.
Cook in a large skillet or griddle over medium low heat for at least 3 - 4 minutes per side or until the cheese is melted and the tortilla is lightly browned.
Cut each quesadilla into 3 wedges.
Serve with salsa and sour cream , if desired.

Ingredients

flour tortillas, cooked chicken, paprika, thyme, ground allspice, crushed red pepper flakes, green onions, fresh peaches, monterey jack cheese
