Spicy chicken surrounded by melting cheese in a crisp homemade tortilla. This was a very successful lunch quickly put together using leftovers from the refrigerator. I’m hooked on these Whole Wheat Tortillas and I have been making quesadillas as frequently as possible.
Ingredients
- 2 Tortillas, homemade or store-bought
- 1/2 cup of mozzarella cheeze shredded
- 1 barbecued chicken thigh or equivalent amount of cooked chicken, removed from the bone and shredded
- Spicy BBQ sauce for dipping
Instructions
- Place one tortilla in a hot skillet over medium high heat. Layer half of the cheese, the shredded chicken and the remaining chicken on top of the tortilla. Place the second tortilla on top and cook for a minute or two, until the cheese is melting. Using a large spatula, carefully flip the tortilla over and cook on the second side for a few moments until everything is melted together.
- This isn't a complicated meal at all, but it sure was delicious! I'm planning to BBQ some chicken this week, just to have it in the fridge for a couple of easy lunch quesadillas.

It's true, sometimes the simplest meals are the best. I somehow missed your whole wheat tortilla post, and I'm so excited to try them. I think making the homemade tortilla would elevate any quesadilla to gourmet status. I wish I had found this before my daughter left for college, she'd go crazy for these.

I love quesadillas! We usually eat them with salsa. The barbecued sauce sounds really good. I will have to try it the time I make quesadillas. Thank you for the idea.

Anna @ hiddenponies says
Looks delicious! We love quesadillas too, we probably have them at least 4 days a week but I've yet to make my own tortillas – might have to change that, yours look perfect!

These look great. Quesadillas are my secret weapon for using leftovers like a piece of chicken or half a steak.
