Improvised chicken Quesadillas
I had no intention to make Quesadillas but I had some oven-roasted chicken drum sticks and prepared the way we make BBQ chicken wings.
My husband is not a fan of chicken but he would eat it if it’s hidden under a pile of other things. This is why those chicken drum sticks ended up being deboned and buried under the veggies of this Quesadilla. I find this type of food a brilliant way to used leftovers, it’s done quickly and it fixes your hunger. Besides, it’s totally up to you how you want to fill it.
The other good thing about this meal is that you can pull it in no time..You may want to serve it with guacamole, picco de gallo or anything classic but I just wanted to keep it simple and quick…
- 2 whole tortillas, any type you have
- 2 tbsps of soft butter
- ½ cup of shredded chicken meat ( Ideally a chicken rubbed with Cajun spices and lime juice then roasted or grilled)
- Salt and pepper, to taste
- 50 to 100 g shredded cheese (Edam, cheddar, Kshkaval…)
- 1 tablespoons spicy barbecue sauce
- Coriander/cilantro leaves
- 1 pickled jalapenos, chopped
- ½ spring onion, chopped
- A few leaves of lettuce
- ½ a small red/yellow sweet bell pepper, chopped or julienned
- A tbsp of cream cheese or crème fraiche
