Instructions
 

  • Preheat convection oven to 400 ºF.
  • Cut mushrooms into a rough chop, about a medium dice. Line a sheet tray with foil. Spray with non-stick spray.
  • Spread mushrooms and vegetable blend in a single layer and spray the tops with non-stick spray. Roast in oven for 15-20 minutes or until mushrooms are golden brown.
  • In a medium mixing bowl, combine chipotle chili powder, cumin, oregano, garlic powder, and black pepper. Add chicken and mix well to coat.
  • Grate cheese on a medium size grate.
  • In a large plastic container or bowl, combine seasoned chicken, cooked mushrooms and vegetables, and cheese.
  • Reduce oven temperature to 350 ºF.
    For 50 servings, lightly spray 6 full-size sheet trays with non-stick cooking spray.
    For 100 servings, lightly spray 12 full-size sheet trays with non-stick cooking spray.
  • Arrange tortillas in single layers on the trays, 8-9 per tray. Use a No. 6 scoop to portion the chicken/mushroom/vegetable/cheese mixture onto half of each tortilla. Fold each tortilla in half and shingle the tortillas on the pan. Spray the outside of tortillas with cooking spray.
  • Bake in oven for 7-10 minutes until the bottom sides are browned. Flip the quesadillas. Remove when both sides have browned.
    Critical Control Point: Heat to 165 ºF or higher for 15 seconds.
