Chicken Quesadillas


Wednesday night dinner: Chicken Quesadillas Chips and Salsa Corn


I think everyone knows how to heat up a can of corn and buy a bag of chips and a jar of salsa...so I am only going to put the quesadilla recipe here:-)


Chicken Quesadillas:

3 chicken breasts

salt and pepper

fajita seasoing (any kind)

tortillas (burrito size)

refried beans ( I buy the cheap ones...they are all about the same)

1 sweet yellow onion

olive oil

butter

cheddar cheese (shredded)


Ok to start...you need a griddle...if you don't have one....go get one...they are cheap and totally ROCK. I use mine for all kinds of stuff...and they are easy clean up!


Remove fat from chicken breasts and cut chicken into bite size peices. Peal and chop onion into bite size peices. Heat up the beans in a sauce pan on low-med heat. You can add a little tobasco sauce if you want a little spice to your quesadillas. Melt a little butter and olive oil in a skillet on med-med high heat and add chicken. Season with salt, pepper and fajita seasoning to your desired taste. When chicken is cooked through and browned....put chicken on paper towl to drain fat. Set aside. Add onions to the pan you cooked the chicken in and sautee until soft.....you will need to add a little butter and salt/pepper to the onions...I also added a little of the fajita seasoning:-) Heat griddle to 350 (or med-high) Once griddle is hot....put a little butter all over the griddle. Place two tortillas on the griddle. Spread a layer of the refried beans on tortillas...then on one side of each tortilla add cheese, onions and chicken. Wait until the tortillas are a nice golden brown on the bottom and the cheese is melting. Then all you have to do is fold each tortilla in half. DONE...Pull the tortillas off the griddle and cut each one into 3 triangles...repeat one more time. This recipe will feed four people. You can always add anything else to the quesadilla that you would like.

ENJOY!!!
