A Lunchtime Solution

So, this isn't the family dinner but as I puttered around my kitchen yesterday trying to determine what to have for lunch it occured to me that sometimes you can move a lunch menu item to the dinner menu and vice versa.  So here it is -- Left-Over Quesadilla.

I always keep some soft tortilla rounds or whole wheat wraps in the pantry and it just so happened that I had leftover chicken (oven-baked, plain) in my fridge as well.  So, turn your broiler on Low and then throw together this easy Quesadilla.

• 1 soft tortilla round-or-1 whole wheat wrap 
• Sprinkle a little taco seasoning on 1/2 
• Slice up your cooked chicken (or other leftover meat - pork, ground beef, steak) and spread out over the taco seasoning
• Slice up whatever fresh veggies you have around (I used green peppers, but go with what you've got at home) and sprinkle over your chicken
• Add some shredded cheddar - you can make this healthier and use a white cheese, very little cheese, or none at all; but I say the more chedda' the betta'
• Fold over the round/wrap and secure with a toothpick 
• Throw it in the oven for about 3-5 minutes depending on how crispy you want your shell, then flip it over and put it back in for 3-5 additional minutes

Now, that's the 1/2 lunch version.  Should you wish to make this your dinner-time meal, just use 2 rounds/wraps and layer everything on one wrap and cover with the other.  Either way, you can serve alongside your favorite salsa and some sour cream for garnish.  Voila!  Dinner in under 15 minutes!

Happy Cooking!
