Quesadillas are a favorite in our household. Basically, if you like grilled-cheese sandwhiches, then you'll love the Mexican (or Tex-Mex) variety as well. We enjoy all kinds, even sweet breakfast ones filled with bananas and Nutella! Tonight's quesadillas were whipped up quickly and scarfed down just as fast.
Ingredients
4 medium corn tortillas (6 inch)
1 chicken breast (250 gr)
1/2 cup salsa
1 cup low-fat mozzarella, Cheddar, or Colby cheese
Directions
- Cut chicken breast in 2 pieces (so that it cooks faster).
- In a small saucepan, bring water to a boil and add the chicken pieces.
- Boil until cooked (about 10 minutes)
- Remove chicken from water and shred with 2 forks. In a small bowl, mix shredded chicken with the salsa. Split chicken mix into 4 portions.
- Split cheese into 4 portions (1/4 cup).
- Put 1/2 of a portion on 1/2 a tortilla, add chicken mix on the cheese, top with the rest of the cheese portion and fold the tortilla over. Repeat steps for the remaining 3 tortillas.
- Cook in a ungreased heated pan for 1 minute on each side, or until cheese is melted. Be careful not to burn the torilla, keep heat to medium-low.
Serve with salsa and fat-free sour-cream (if desired)... it is very good as is ;)
Tastes delicious with a fresh corn salad!

you must be psychic. I was just wandering around my kitchen wondering what I could make with chicken that was different than the same old stuff I make. The only meat I pretty much cook with is chicken unless its ground turkey, and I'm just bored (with both). I have all of these ingredients on hand, and don't know why I didn't think of doing this myself lol. thanks for the help. That salad looks wonderful too. So colorful! my mom always taught me colorful=yummy, so there ya go! I will most likely make this for dinner tonight :). Thanks for the help! :)
