    Becky’s Cheesy Chicken Quesadillas, These are delicious! These quesadillas are filled with seasoned grilled chicken, a blend of Mexican cheeses, tomatoes, scallions and cilantro I like to make these as a meal, but they could also be served as an appetizer My husband and I always think we can eat one whole quesadilla each, but we always end up saving the rest for lunch the next day My grandmother would say, I guess your eyes were bigger than your stomach ! Well I say, Here’s to ambitious eyes, grandma! , *Made for Australia/NZ Swap #17* We fix quesadillas fairly frequently, so this went very quickly I had an EXtremely large chicken breast, so just did 1, and added some pre-packaged rotisserie chicken pieces Used 3 Roma tomatoes, and Bistro Taco packaged grated cheese We, too, thought we could each eat 1, but wimped out on the last quarter(each), which Tom (the setter) TOTALLY enjoyed ! Topped with our usual quacamole and sour cream, was a quite filling meal We DID add the sliced chicken on top of the scallions, although the recipe construction left that step out ! Other than maybe a little kick in flavor, these were very tasty and will be done often – in some form Thanks MarthaSWB, for a nice Monday night meal , These are delicious!
