quick and easy meals for 1 or 2

Quesadillas for 2

I regularly buy a whole roast chicken or just the breast if available, take the meat off the bones and cut it up. Then put the extra, if any, in zip lock bags and store the in the freezer for other days, other recipes.

4 large Flour tortillas
2 or more cups shredded cheese-Monterrey jack, mozzarella, cheddar, whatever you like. Sometimes I make these with just cheese and some salsa for dipping.

2 cups cooked, cut up chicken
1 med. onion sliced or Julienne
1 green bell or pablamo pepper
2 plum tomatoes seeded and diced

Turn the oven on to 225

Heat a large frying pan to medium high heat. Add a small amount of oil (about 1/2 teaspoon) and spread it around the bottom of the pan with a spatula. Put one large flour tortilla in the pan. Flip the tortilla over a few times, 10 seconds between flips. Air pockets should begin to form within the tortilla.

When pockets of air begin to form, take a handful of grated cheese, sprinkle over half of the top of the tortilla. Add some of the rest of the ingredients, just enough to cover ½ of the tortilla. Take care not to layer on the ingredients to thickly.

Reduce the heat to low. The pan should be hot enough by now to have plenty of residual heat to melt the cheese and brown the tortilla. If the quesadilla begins to smoke too much, remove from the heat. After a minute, check to see if the cheese is melted. If not check every minute until the cheese starts to melt. Flip the uncheesed side over the cheesed side. The tortilla should by now be browned slightly. If it is not browned, turn the heat up a little and flip the quesadilla over until it gets browned. Remove from pan and put on a big dish in the oven. Repeat for more quesadillas.

Serve it up!!! with salsa and maybe some sour cream and maybe some ice cold corona!!!
