Chicken Quesadilla Deliciousness!

As I stated before I LOVE Mexican food and quesadillas are just one of the many reasons I do. They are simple and you can put literally anything you want in them. Sometimes you just don't feel like spending a long time in the kitchen after a long day and quesedillas are a quick and easy way to whip up something delicious!

Ingredients:
  • 2 whole wheat wraps/tortillas (use 2 if you want a whole quesadilla or 1 folded over for a half)
  • 1-2 thin-sliced chicken breasts
  • Mrs. Dash's Fiesta Lime seasoning (You can use any seasoning you want, I just stuck with the mexican theme)
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil
  • 1/2 red bell pepper
  • 1 cup 2% milk shredded cheddar cheese (Any cheese would work for this)
  • 1/2 avocado
  • Frank's Red Hot/Tabasco Hot Sauce

Step 1: Heat a non-stick pan and add your olive oil. Coat the chicken with Mrs. Dash's seasoning and then put in pan. Make sure chicken is fully cooked on the inside, this should take about 10-12 minutes. When the chicken is done, you want to slice it on the diagonal so you get nice thin stips.

Step 2: Take your pepper and finely chop it into small pieces. Get your tortillas/wraps plated and pile in all your ingredients (cheese, chicken, peppers and then topped with cheese again). You can rinse and use the same pan you cooked your chicken in to cook your quesadilla. I like to put a lid on the pan to seal the heat in and really melt the cheese. 

Step 3: This is the tricky part for some people, the flip over to the other side. I take the pan off the heat, put a plate over top and flip the pan over so that the done side of the quesadilla is now on top. Then slide the quesadilla back into the pan to cook the other side. This shouldn't take longer than 10 minutes. 

Step 4: Remove quesadilla from heat, plate it up, cut it up, top with your sliced avocado and then drizzle your sauce over top. 



This meal is healthy, quick and nutritious. You can pack anything you desire into your quesadilla to make it absolutely delicious. They are also super versatile and can be used as a snack or a full meal. 

ENJOY!!
