Preparation:
- Quesadilla:
Preheat the grill to medium-high heat. Season the chicken with salt and pepper. Grill until cooked through, 12–15 minutes, depending on the size. Let cool, then transfer the chicken to a bowl and shred with two forks.
- Heat the grapeseed oil in a skillet over medium-high heat. Add the onion and pepper and cook for 8 minutes. Add to the shredded chicken, season with salt and pepper.
- Place the tortillas on a work surface. Top one with Monterey Jack cheese, then the chicken mixture. Top with cheddar cheese and cover with a second tortilla.
- Salsa:
In a bowl, combine the onion, tomatoes, lime juice, and cilantro. Season with salt and pepper to taste.
- Melt the butter in a skillet. Add the quesadillas and cook until golden brown. Flip and cook on the other side until golden brown and the cheese is melted. Remove from the skillet, cut into quarters, and garnish with salsa and sour cream.
