Chicken and Avocado Stuffed Quesadillas

Quesadillas are aways a favorite around here, but these ones are extra yummy! They are stuffed with grilled chicken, avocado, and cheese. Really, you can't go wrong. The creamy avocado gives it great flavor and the outside is crispy and warm! Dip in sour cream and salsa and you are in heaven!




Ingredients: (You can make as many or little as you like)

jalapeno cheddar tortilla wraps (the big ones)
grilled chicken, shredded
sliced avocado
grated cheese, pepper jack, colby,mozzarella, or cheddar
sour cream
salsa

1. Really easy here. Heat a non-stick skillet to medium-high heat.
2. I make my quesadillas in halves. By using one tortilla and filling just one side of it and folding the other side over on top. It makes it a ton easier when you are flipping a quesadilla stuffed with goodness. SO.... On one half of your tortilla sprinkle your cheese then place you chicken and avocado slices on top. Next, sprinkle a bit more cheese so everything stays together. Then fold the other half over. Kinda press on the folded tortilla to keep everything in place. Butter the side that is face up and carefully put your stuffed tortilla butter side down in your skillet.
3. While it is cooking butter the other side and after a few minutes CAREFULLY flip your quesadilla to cook the other side.
4. When the cheese is melted and the tortilla is golden brown and crispy slid that baby onto a cutting board and cut into 4 pieces. Now make as many as you want and dip in sour cream and salsa!

* You can add sauteed onions and tomatoes for a bit more flavor too.
* You can omit the chicken and load it with veggies or a great vegetarian meal.
* Add some watermelon and corn on the cob and you have a great summer meal!

Yum! I love wraps. So many good flavors all stuffed into a giant delicious sun dried tomato wrap. Really...you can't go wrong.

BBQ Chicken Wrap

I LOVE this wrap because it reminds me of Red Robin..... which I also love. I get the same thing every time I go there :) SO this is a copy cat of the Whiskey River BBQ Chicken Wrap and you will love it! It tastes like the real thing!



Ingredients:

Serves 4-6

1 package spinach tortillas
3 chicken breasts, cut into bit size pieces
lettuce, shredded
tomatoes, diced
cheddar cheese, grated
1 can corn, drained
low fat ranch
mesquite bbq sauce
salt and pepper

1. Heat a non-stick skillet to med/high heat and drizzle a bit of olive oil. Season your chicken with salt and pepper and toss into the pan. Cook for about 10 minutes or until cooked through. Next add a couple of tablespoons of bbq sauce to the pan and coat the chicken. Turn the heat down and prepare your wraps.
2. In a small bowl combine 3 tablespoons of ranch with 3 tablespoons of bbq sauce. Stir to combine. Spread some sauce on each of your tortillas. As much or little as you want. Next divide the chicken among all your wraps. Top with cheese, tomatoes, corn and lettuce. Wrap up tight and cut in half on your plates. So easy and good!!
* Serve these with fruit salad, french fries, chips, potato salad, anything summery and you are good to go!
