We had our swap last week and our freezer is full or I should say was full. It is quickly disappearing with this crew. This month we got: Chicken Sate wtih peanut sauce, super burger patties, bacon hash brown roll ups, Duggar's Family Tater Tot Cassrole, Beef stew, homemade "uncrustables" PB&J, marinated chicken, chicken and bows, chicken quesadillas, vegetable beef soup, chicken Enchiladas, kings ranch chicken, french toast, ham/cheese buns, hot wings, wet tacos, refried beans and sasauge mcmuffins, YUM YUM!


This week I am sharing the Chicken Quesadilla recipe. I made it this month and the kids and I just had these for lunch today.


Freezer Chicken Quesadillas














































Recipes:



1



Servings:



8



Ingredients:





Chicken; cooked and finely minced*



1-1/2 C.



Reduced fat sour cream



1/4 C.



Thick and chunky salsa



1 C.



Shredded cheddar cheese



1/2 C.



Shredded pepper jack cheese



1/2 C.



Chili powder



1 t.



Flour tortillas; 6-inch



8



Assembly Directions:


In a mixing bowl, mix chicken, sour cream, salsa, cheeses and chili powder.


Freezing Directions:


Place chicken mixture in a quart-sized freezer or storage bag. Seal. Place quart-sized freezer bag inside of a gallon sized freezer bag. Add tortillas. Seal, label and freeze.


Serving Directions:


Thaw contents of the quesadilla kit. Remove tortillas and separate. Lay them out on a flat surface, such as a clean counter, and divide the filling evenly between the tortillas. Fold each tortilla in half. Spray a fry pan with cooking spray. Cook the quesadillas one at a time in the pan, lightly browning them on each side. The cheese in the filling should melt. After each one is done, remove it from the pan. Using a pizza cutter cut each quesadilla into 3 pieces.


Comments:


*You can easily mince chicken in a food processor or mini-chopper.


My kids love these! It’s nice to have the filling totally ready and in a kit form.
