Occasionally we have Wii nights where we have some friends over, play different Wii games and munch on some snacks. I am always looking for new recipes to try. They have to be easy to make, easy to eat and taste good! Last Saturday, we had another Wii night and I decided to try these lime-marinated chicken quesadillas and garlicky beef crostini, along with some cold snacks.

I modified this recipe from allrecipes.com for the lime marinade and used it to make the quesadillas. I was a little skeptical about using the lime, but it adds great flavor and does not over-power the chicken at all. These quesadillas were delicious!

Lime-Marinated-Chicken Quesadillas

Combine first 8 ingredients in a shallow dish. Reserve 1/4 cup of the marinade. Add the chicken, cover and refrigerate for at least a couple hours.

Heat a medium saute pan over medium heat. Add chicken and cook until juices run clear. Shred the chicken with 2 forks, add reserved 1/4 cup of marinade and 1/4 cup of water. Let simmer until all of the liquid is absorbed, set aside.

Heat a large non-stick skillet over medium heat. Place 1 tortilla on the skillet, sprinkle cheese and chicken over tortilla and top with another tortilla. Heat until cheese is melted and bottom is golden brown, flip quesadilla and heat until other side is golden brown.

Serve with salsa and sour cream, garnish with green onions.
