Chicken Salsa Quesadillas

I've spent most of today on the computer sorting out one project or another that I've been meaning to get to for some time now, and time has completely flown away from me.  Hence the quick and easy - but still delicious - dinner of chicken quesadillas.  I have to admit I just love meals like this - 5 or 6 ingredients that I've usually got on hand, and before you know it, happy full bellies, empty plates and left overs (if we're lucky) for lunch tomorrow.  Can things be any simpler?










Chicken Salsa Quesadillas
Yields 4-6 servings

1/2 cup salsa
2 Tbs mayonnaise
1/2 tsp chili powder
2-3 cooked chicken breasts, chopped (divided)
1 cup grated cheese (divided)
4 large tortillas
  • mix together the salsa, mayo and chili powder, and spread on each tortilla.
  • layer chopped chicken and cheese evenly onto half of each tortilla.
  • fold tortillas in half to enclose filling.
  • heat a large skillet on medium, sprayed with cooking spray.  Add quesadillas, 2 at a time and cook for 4-5 minutes, carefully turn over and cook another 4-5 minutes until lightly browned.
  • cut each quesadilla into 3 wedges and serve with sour cream and additional salsa.

     three simple ingredients that combined taste awesome.

    this mix would work great with burgers or paninis too.

    I used medium cheddar - the stronger flavour means you won't use as much :o)

    shred or chop the chicken, whichever works for you.

    lots of cheesey, chickeney goodness!!!

    I find it easier to assemble all the quesadillas before cooking them.

    pick up, dunk in salsa & sour cream and eat - how simple!!!
