Cooking Steps
- In a large skillet, heat 1 tablespoon of olive oil over medium-high heat. Sauté 1 pound of small chicken pieces seasoned with smoked paprika, garlic powder, onion powder, salt, and pepper for about 10 minutes until golden brown and cooked to 165°F.
- In a small bowl, whisk together ¼ cup of honey and 3 tablespoons of hot sauce. Drizzle this over the cooked chicken, tossing to coat and keeping warm.
- In a mixing bowl, combine ½ cup of sour cream, 2 diced jalapeños, the juice of 1 lime, garlic powder, and a pinch of salt. Stir until smooth and chill before serving.
- Lay a flour tortilla flat, sprinkle cheese over half, add the hot honey chicken mixture, top with more cheese, and fold.
- In the skillet, melt a small pat of butter and grill the quesadilla for 2-3 minutes until golden brown, then flip and cook the other side.
- Let the grilled quesadillas cool slightly, slice into wedges, and serve with spicy jalapeño cream sauce, garnished with fresh cilantro.

Notes
Ensure chicken is cooked to 165°F. Adjust hot sauce for desired spice level. Allow quesadillas to cool before slicing for cleaner cuts.
