How to Make Pepper Jack Chicken And Peach Quesadillas

  1. In a small bowl, whisk together 2 tablespoons honey and 1 tablespoon lime juice.
  2. Stir in 1/2 cup sour cream. Cover and refrigerate until ready to serve.
  3. Lay out 4 flour tortillas on a flat surface.

  8. Heat a large nonstick skillet over medium-high heat. Lightly coat the pan with cooking spray.
