Chipolte Lime Sauce
- 1 cup sour cream

Instructions
- Cook the chicken. Heat a large pan over medium heat with a splash of olive oil. Place the chicken breasts in the pan and add the soy sauce. Cook for 5 minutes on each side. If you are using additional ingredients, add to the pan while the chicken cooks. Remove the breasts from the pan and place to the side. Slice the chicken into thin strips.

Place the chicken strips and any other additional ingredients on top of the cheese, then fold the other side over. Let the quesadilla cook for 3 minutes on each side, or until its golden brown.
- Make the sauce. Combine the sour cream, chipotle peppers, lime juice, salt, and garlic in a blender and blend until smooth.
- Serve. Serve the quesadillas with a side of the chipotle lime sauce and enjoy! Mangia!
