Yep. If you're thinking that this looks nothing like the buttermilk donuts with maple glaze that I promised, you're right. But Friday's southwest chicken (scroll down for recipe) was so superlative in a simple quesadilla, I'm compelled to stop and share. If you need another reason to make this four-ingredient slow-cooker chicken recipe, then here it is: LEFTOVERS. 
With a sprinkle of green onions, a smattering of cheese, and a butter brushed flour tortilla, you'll be on your way too oohing and aahing a second time. By using your leftovers, you'll be able to make a stand-out quickie meal in minutes for about 50 cents per quesadilla. I'll be back tomorrow with the promised donuts, scouts honor. 
*****And for those of you wondering about Friday's tortillas, they are simply purchased corn tortillas, lightly fried in a couple of tablespoons of vegetable oil. (I use about 2 tablespoons of oil for approximately 8-10 tortillas.)
Coming Tomorrow:
Buttermilk Donuts with Maple Glaze. Truly.
Gooey, cheesy, chickeny... perfect!
ReplyDeleteI could eat this for breakfast! Right now! :)
ReplyDeleteBoy am I glad I'm making your delicious spicy sweet chicken for tacos tonight. Now I know what I'm having for Monday night dinner as well! Thanks!
ReplyDeleteDefinitely one of my favourites Prudy:D
ReplyDeleteSweet & spicy always wins! :0)
ReplyDeletedelicious and beautiful music
ReplyDeleteYum! My family loves when i make my quesadillas, these look delicious~
ReplyDeleteOh Prudy! I made the chicken tacos yesterday! David and I were going to a wedding last night, and I thought they would be perfect for the kids and the babysitter last night, and then for us again tonight. Well, guess what -- Ms. Kitchen Disaster Train herself forgot to turn off the crock pot when she got home last night, and as it turns out, the chicken taco meat does not fare well after 24 hours in the crock pot. I was SO mad at myself even BEFORE I saw your quesadilla recipe, and now, well, I am just going to go sit myself in a corner or something as punishment. Fortunately, the tacos were wonderfully easy to make, so I'm sure I'll get to try this again soon!
ReplyDeleteI made the sweet and spicy chicken for dinner on Friday night and it was a big hit! And yes, I fully subscribe to the leftover idea too, because we had the chicken for leftovers last night! Thanks Prudy!
ReplyDeleteI'm not too experienced with Blogger but I'm so glad that I (accidentally) configured my blogroll so I can always tell when you've posted something new! Gonna hold you to those donuts, though...

Prudy, I love leftovers for exactly this reason. It is so great when they can transform into something else. Yum! Can't wait to see the donuts. I have been debating for awhile about making some homemade ones. Maybe your recipe will push me over the edge!
ReplyDeleteThey look just as yummy the second time around. Thank goodness you have some quick dishes for your busy life.

Love quesadillas, especially fast easy cheesy ones like this.
ReplyDeleteI love using leftover meat for quesadillas. That spicy chicken looks so good and the cheese oozing out is calling my name.
ReplyDeleteThis is the best looking leftover meal that I have ever seen!
ReplyDeleteOh yes, that's what I do too. I freeze tortillas and then make leftover quesadillas too. The curried beef and avocado was delicious, would you believe?
ReplyDeletewithout a doubt, quesadillas have the best ease-to-tastiness ratio of almost all foods. great use for leftovers, too. :)
ReplyDeleteDouble yumm! I love 2 dinners out of one! I will be making this your chicken tacos and quesadillas soon.

ReplyDeleteQuesadillas are one of my favorite uses for leftovers. There are very few things that are not improved by the addition of melted cheese.
