Quick and Easy Chicken Quesadillas

Hello, sweet friends!  Chicken Quesadillas are one of my FAVORITE 'go to' recipes.  They are also on my top ten list of comfort foods.




There's just something about that spicy chicken-bubbling cheese, and crispy tortilla-that makes a person feel all warm and fuzzy inside.  Don't you agree?



And let's not forget the toppings.  Oh no-never!  Fresh guacamole-sour cream-salsa.....and, if I'm feeling it-maybe even some lettuce.

Of course, it's that 'building' of the PERFECT quesadilla-that hubby and I both really enjoy!

I like to pile a little bit of everything on the top of each quesadilla, all pretty and dainty like.

Hubby on the other hand....not so much!!!

But whatever way you like your quesadilla-I guarantee you're going to LOVE this quick and easy recipe!

Enjoy!!!

And don't forget to stop back tonight for The Wonderful Wednesday Blog Hop!  The party starts at 7 pm Eastern time!

Chicken Quesadillas

Ingredients:

2 cups shredded chicken (I roast about 2 lbs of dark meat in the oven for about 35-40 minutes)
1 cup shredded sharp cheddar cheese
1 cup shredded Monterey jack cheese
1 cup chopped tomatoes
1 pkg McCormick Southwest Chicken Quesadilla seasoning mix
2 tablespoons water (optional)
8 flour tortillas (8 inch)
Butter for frying tortilla (about 2 tablespoons)

Directions:

Mix together- chicken, 1 1/2 cups of cheese, seasoning mix, tomatoes.  Add water if mixture is too dry.  Warm a large pan or griddle over medium heat.  Add butter and heat until sizzling.  Place one tortilla in pan.  Add chicken mixture.  Top with another tortilla.  Cook until lightly brown-and cheese is bubbling. Flip-and cook other side until lightly brown.  Remove from pan.  Sprinkle each quesadilla with remaining cheese, guacamole, salsa, tomatoes, lettuces, and sour cream.
