Chicken & Cheese Quesadillas

Last week I posted a YUMMY recipe for Honey-Lime Enchiladas that would be perfect for Cinco de Mayo, but if Enchiladas aren't your "thing" you may like these Chicken & Cheese Quesadillas.
They are quick and easy......and not as spicy as the enchiladas.....so kids may enjoy this meal a little more.

We make these ALL the time!

EDITED to say this recipe WON
Tuesday Taste Peoples Choice Award

Chicken & Cheese Quesadillas

(printable recipe)

Serves 3-4 (*this can be easily adapted to however many servings you need, this is just what I usually fix)

Ingredients:
1.5-2 cups cooked chicken (I use 1.5 bags of Tyson grilled chicken)
Taco Seasoning packet
water
4 flour tortillas (8 inch)
2 T melted butter
1.5 cups shredded Monterey Jack Cheese (or cheddar)
lettuce
Sour cream or Ranch dressing

Directions:

Preheat oven to 475°
In a skillet, heat chicken.
Add taco seasoning, mix with water according to package
Brush one side of each tortilla with melted butter; place buttered side down on a lightly greased baking sheet.
Spoon 1/4 of chicken mixture over half of each tortilla
Sprinkle each with 1/3 cup cheese
Fold tortilla over chicken and cheese.
Bake at 475 for 10 mins.
Cut in half with a pizza cutter and enjoy!

We like to open ours and add lettuce and sour cream, or dunk in ranch dressing.
