Yesterday, I made a delicious chicken recipe in the crock pot. Today, I figured we could use up what was left for some delicious healthy quesadillas!
I started by gathering and chopping any remaining produce I had in the fridge. Since I shop Sundays it was slim pickin's! I found onions, tomatoes, carrots and garlic.
Then I sauteed the veggies with the leftover shredded chicken in a skillet until they were nice and soft!
I divided the mixture between 3 tortillas. I really like La Tortilla Factory's High Fiber Onion and Herb Variety. It is amazing how much you can lighten up a meal by swapping a few ingredients. Here are some examples of what I used below.
I folded the tortillas in half and cooked with a little light Olivio butter over medium heat until golden brown on both sides.
Then it was time to garnish and plate up. I was running low on salsa, so I added some fresh tomatoes, onions, jalepenos, and cilantro to what I had left in the jar.
Mmmmmm...served with a side of broccoli!
It's amazing how you can totally transform leftovers with just a little creativity!
