Introduction

This is a kid-friendly recipe that is easy for the tiniest of fingers to pick up. It does take awhile if you don't have the chicken cooked and shredded already. If prepared the night before, these would be an easy weeknight meal. Just take the assembled quesadillas out of the fridge and brown them in a little grease.

Ingredients

    4 chicken breasts
    3/4 cup reduced fat sour cream
    8 8-inch flour tortillas
    1 cup sharp cheddar cheese (any kind of cheese works-this is our favorite)
    oil to fry quesadillas in
    Mexican seasoning, if desired
    Chopped onions and peppers, if desired
    Additional sour cream and salsa for condiments

Directions

Cook chicken. You can add any kind of seasoning you want during the cooking process. We're pretty plain in our family, so I didn't list any seasoning but it would be easy to add. Sauteed onions and/or peppers would also be easy to mix in. Cut chicken up in food processor. Add to sour cream and cheddar. Spoon enough of the mixture onto one tortilla until you can spread it within 1/2 inch of the edge. Don't spread it too thin. Top with second tortilla. Fry in oil over medium heat 'till just browned and filling is melting. Watch carefully-they don't take long to brown (or burn!)
