Chicken Quesadillas


Yummy melted cheese. A party dish or a lunch snack for days.

1-5 Boneless chicken breasts
80z mozzarella or other shredded cheese
Flour tortilla fajita sized.
Spices of your choice

On this dish we need a grill AND a flat grill or frying pan. Take however many breasts you plan on making and thaw them out or if fresh, prepare them with the spices of your choice on both sides while raw, or if you want it without spices place them in the grill for about twenty minutes or so, depending on the heat of your grill. Once finished grilling it grab a knife and start shredding the chicken. One breast can be shredded to fill up to three fajita’s from half pound breasts, but this is another size may vary.

Place the chunks into the fajitas and then spread some cheese over the chicken. Place the flat grill on 250F or a frying pan on three to five. After about three or four minutes the cheese should be melted, be careful for the fajita will be very hot. Let it cool down, and then either cut as you’d like or enjoy.

Final comments: This one takes quite a bit of hand work but overall tastes really good and well worth the time.  Making four should take a little under thirty minutes and is a great way of feeding a friend crazing tacos without going out to eat. Main thing to watch with this meal is burring the cheese of tortilla, since both burns quickly.
