Yummy Chicken and Mexican Cheese Quesadilla and Salsa

This is a recipe for a delicious and very simple Chicken and Cheese Quesadilla. It takes maybe 5 minutes to make and it's fairly healthy considering it uses whole wheat tortillas!

What you'll need:
1 Medium Whole Wheat Tortilla (by Mission)
1 to 1.3 oz of Grilled Chicken (Hormel Pre-grilled)
1/4cup to 1/3 cup of Mexican Cheese
Salsa





Step 1: Take your Whole Wheat Tortilla and cut it in half







Step 2: Take 1/4 cup Mexican Cheese and evenly distribute on one side of the tortilla.






Step 3: Measure out about 1 to 1.3 oz of pre-grilled chicken. If you don't have a scale it's about enough to rest in the palm of your hand.







Step 4: Dice up the chicken very finely.







Step 5: Evenly Distribute the chicken on top of the cheese. (it may look like a lot of chicken but don't worry...)






Step 6: Sprinkle a little more Mexican Cheese over the top of the chicken.






Step 7: Place the other half of the tortilla on top and place in the microwave. Microwave on High for 1min30sec. (DON'T OVER COOK!)



Step 8: The Mexican Cheese when melted leaves a some grease, so I soak it up with a paper towel.






Step 9: Using a Pizza Cutter (or whatever you may have) cut the tortilla into four slices.







Step 10: Pour your self a little salsa on the side and there you have it! A delicious and nutritious Chicken and Mexican Cheese Quesadilla! And if you are worried that the whole wheat tortillas are going to taste funny, don't, they taste just like a regular tortilla, just healthier for you cause it is using healthier carbs. So eat up and enjoy!!!!!!!
