Chicken Quesadillas

If you want an easy meal, here is one for you! I made salsa chicken in the crockpot to use in my quesadillas. Then I just added cheese and we had dinner!

Here is the recipe....

Ingredients:
- Flour Tortillas
- Queso Cheese (or your favorite Mexican style cheese)
- Salsa Chicken (click the link to go to the recipe)
- Vegetable Oil

Cut up your salsa chicken into bit size pieces


  Use a basting brush to brush on your vegetable oil to one side of the tortilla. Then flip it over onto your cast iron skillet.


Add your cheese and chicken to the inside of your tortilla on one side (not the side with the oil!)

Cook on Medium Heat and flip after 3-5 minutes (depending on how hot your pan is)

Once your cheese is melted you are ready to enjoy!
