Ingredients:
- 1 cup Jack Daniel's(r) Original No. 7 Recipe(tm) Barbecue Sauce
- 2 chicken breasts-boneless and skinless
- Salt and pepper to taste
- 3 6-inch flour tortillas
- 1/4 cup grated Monterey Jack cheese
- 1/4 cup grated white cheddar cheese
Avocado Salsa:
- 1 ripe avocado-coarsely chopped
- 1 tablespoon finely chopped red onion
- 1 tablespoon minced jalapeno
- 2 tablespoons fresh lime juice
- Salt and pepper to taste
Directions:
Prepare Jack Daniel's Barbecue Sauce to medium-high heat.
Brush the chicken with the barbecue sauce and season to taste with salt and pepper. Grill the chicken for about 4 minutes per side or until done. When the chicken is cool enough to handle, slice it and set it aside.
Place 2 tortillas on an ungreased baking sheet. Spread 1/2 of the cheeses and the chicken on each tortilla and season to taste with salt and pepper. Stack the 2 layers, cover with the remaining tortilla. Brush the tortillas lightly with olive oil. Grill for 3 minutes on each side or until the tortillas are crisp and the cheese is melted.
Cut into quarters and serve hot, garnished with the avocado salsa.
To Make The Salsa:
Combine all of the avocado salsa ingredients together in a bowl and season with salt and pepper.
TIP: Always add lemon or lime juice to any recipe with avocado. This will help prevent the avocado from turning brown in the recipe.
Serving Size: Makes 4 Appetizer Servings
