This is a easy but yummy recipe that kids and adults will love! I first made these years ago, based on a menu item at a restaurant where I worked in college. Sounds a bit odd, but GREAT, and you can often make them with leftovers!
Chicken and Mashed Potato Quesadillas
From RedSky in Duck many moons ago
2-3 Chicken breasts, marinated in teryaki, cooked and shredded/chopped
Rosemary garlic mashed potatoes, or whatever kind you have leftover
Colby and pepperjack cheeses, sliced
Large flour tortillas
Spread the potatoes on slightly less than one half of the tortilla. Arrange chicken on top--it doesn't take a lot. Lay slices of colby and pepperjack cheese over that, and fold quesadilla over. Repeat until you are out of guts! Bake on a cookie sheet in the oven until cheese is melted and ingredients are warmed through. These will keep several days in the fridge unbaked, and I've even frozen them individually wrapped. Serve with salsa and sour cream. Enjoy!
Think we will be adding this to the menu!! YUM! Might have to add spinach? It's my "go to" for green!
