Quesadilla Recipe

Okay so if you follow me on Instagram under my Lunch account you saw my husband's lunch if you haven't see it here

So being in AZ I can get some Authentic Corn or Flour Tortillas. I have tried to replicate them, but decided it's worth my time to buy them. I don't have gas so I can't use a cast iron skillet.

The quesadilla was made in a panini maker.

I had left over chicken. I keep some in the freezer and it's cooked in my skillet with some taco or fajita seasoning. I shred it in my kitchen aid and freeze it about 1/4 or 1/2 a cup servings

I used a red onion diced, some salsa, taco cheese, and some of the chicken. I toasted it on the panini maker.

I presently have this Hamilton Beach which Amazon has marked HIGH. If you shop at Walmart, order it online and ship to the store, it was only $17.00 for me at the time. It get's the job done for me and I love it.

For this Quesadilla it all depends on taste. Add some of your own touches, green pepper, a jalapeno, whatever you want for the South West Flavor. Even the cheese.

My specific one

1/4 cup of pre-cooked chicken
Enough cheese to cover the chicken and 1/2 of the quesadilla (I used Organic Valley's Taco cheese)
1/3 cup of red onion
1 and 1/2 Tablespoon of Trader Joe's Hot Chipolte Salsa
If I had some green pepper it would be in this quesadilla.

My quesadillas were 13-14.75 inches. Since they were made at a small Taco Stand they vary in size. I grilled it on the panini maker and sliced with a pizza cutter.

Enjoy and mix it up to give it what you love.
