So happy to have the talented Cindy Larkin back today. The quesadillas she’s sharing look AMAZING and sound absolutely DELICIOUS! They’ve been added to next week’s menu… I can’t wait to give them a try.

Seriously!? These are SO good! {nom-nom-nom} Go get the ingredients and make these for you family tonight! They will LOVE you!
INGREDIENTS:
12 Flour tortillas
2 cups grated cheese
4-5 chicken breasts (cooked and shredded) OR 3 cans of chicken
1 Tbsp. chili powder
2 cloves of garlic (minced)
3 Tbsp. honey
2 limes (juiced)
1 cup green chili enchilada sauce (I used mild)
1 bunch of Cilantro
1. Cook the chicken breasts until tender enough to shred. I cooked 4-5 chicken breasts in my pressure cooker for 10 minutes, but if you don’t have a pressure cooker, you can boil it for about 30 minutes in a stock pot. Cook until it’s “fall of the bone” tender. OR if you’re in a hurry, it’s really easy to use canned chicken (about 3 cans).
2. Put the chicken in a large mixing bowl and let it cool until you can touch it without getting burned. Shred the chicken with a fork or get down and dirty and use your fingers (it’s easier that way) 😉
3. Add chili powder, garlic, honey and lime; Mix together.
4. Add 1 cup of enchilada sauce and stir together.
5. Layer the quesadilla like so: tortilla, cheese, meat, a pinch of cilantro, a little more cheese, and top with another tortilla.
6. Brush both side of the quesadilla with a little olive oil and toast them on both sides in the oven at *350 degrees for about 2 minutes on each side.
7. When they are toasted, pull them out of the oven and place on a cutting board.
8. Slice them into 4 sections with a pizza cutter.
9. Serve with cilantro ranch dressing for dipping. *Makes about 6 quesadillas.

Yum!! I am going to make these for dinner tonight! Thanks for sharing!
This looks amazing, just pinned!!
thanks for sharing, this is a new family fave
These look scrumptious! I just wonder, for the teenage boy in my house who needs the calories, if you could turn this into a grilled stuffed burrito by adding some Mexican rice, tomatoes, roll up into a burrito and brown in a skillet or press? Nom!
