Chicken Quesadillas

   Posted by: MotherHen   in Lunch, Vittles

My kids love quesadillas!  They would eat them for lunch everyday if I let ‘em.  The wonderful part is that they’re easy to make and not very expensive, actually, if you use leftovers they’re down-right frugal.

You’ll need:

  • Flour Tortillas – 2 per
  • Cheese, grated, it doesn’t matter what kind, pretty much
  • leftovers, either meat cut into little pieces or beans or whatever sounds good to ya
  • maybe some oil for the skillet if ya like ‘em a little crispy

Just turn the skillet on med/ med-low and let it preheat while you get out the other ingredients and cut the meat up.

Lay the tortilla on the hot skillet and put some meat or beans on and kinda spread ‘em out.

Add some cheese, be careful not to make a mess and get the cheese on the skillet like I did.  Hate that.

Put the other tortilla on top.  Let the bottom one brown just a touch.  Then flip it, remember, watch out for rebelious cheese shreds!   Let the second side brown a bit and remove the delicious stuff to a plate.  Use your pizza cutter to cut ‘em into fourths.  My kids like to dip these in sour cream and the teens like a spoonful of salsa with it.

As my 10 yr old usually makes lunch, “we” do quesadillas in the microwave. I’m sure the skillet version is much better.
Once I tried a recipe where you fill dough “tortillas” with cheese, fold, seal, and fry. Tasty, but a lot of the cheese leaked out and made a horrible mess. (Even the oven-baked version I made up leaked badly.)

Yeah, us too, when I don’t have the time. But I like ‘em so much better in the skillet that I usually make the time.
