Quesadillas

I received a quesadilla maker for Christmas, ( yes I know you don't need a machine to make them, but it's the thought etc.). Anyway I made one for lunch with chicken ,peppers , salsa, and a little cheese, it was delicious. Do you all have any ideas for fillings ? I use corn tortillas.

I like queso (Mexican) shredded cheese, shredded chicken and mushrooms!

I love quesadillas and make them on a regular basis. My favorite fillings are pepper jack cheese, a little sharp cheddar, poblano peppers and pickled red onions. Because I love spice, I sometimes add sliced jalapenos ( pickled or fresh thinly sliced ), or a sprinkle of crushed red pepper depending on the cheese I use. Smoked mozzarella or gouda, are also delish when you want to switch things up. I don't eat meat, but you can add your meat of choice. My son likes his with thinly sliced steak.

~~~All we need is LOVE💖

I have a quesadilla maker that I use at least once a week. If you want to go meatless, try black beans, salsa and cheese (pepper jack or a shredded mexican blend). Also breakfast with scrambled egg,cheese and salsa.

I also like a tuna melt quesadiila and ham and cheese quesadilla.

Polenta, refried beans, a little salsa and sour cream to serve. YUM!

I've made this filing with leftover turkey, but chicken works too:

2 cups shredded cooked turkey of chicken meat

1/2 cup barbecue sauce

a couple thinly-sliced scallions

3 1/2 oz can drained green chiles

2 cups shredded cheese (I like a cheddar/Monterey Jack mix)

Stir together meat, barbecue sauce, and chiles and spread on tortillas. Sprinkle on scallions, then cheese.

I usually make pizza quesadelias: a little sauce, cheese, peppers, pepperoni and often use pita bread.

Oh how I love quesadillas, and thanks a lot @QVCkitty1 for the craving

I now have

I put a layer of refried beans on my flour tortillas, then top with all the

good stuff. I like fajita chicken, grilled onions, peppers, diced japaleno, cheese,

sometimes I add in some leftover mexican rice, if I don't have it on the side.

For dipping, I either use just sour cream, or queso, or avocado jalepeno

dressing.

I wish I had a platter of these in front of me.

I had one for lunch about an hour ago. I'd cooked a chicken in the foodi on Saturday. So I had chicken, shredded cheese, salsa, jalapenos on a flour tortilla. I forgot the sour cream. It was very good , quick and easy.

I also make breakfast quesadillas/burritos with scrambled eggs, cheese, crumbled sausage. Tasty too.

I use a cool ranch chicken recipe to make 1-2 pounds of shredded chicken every month and use it for quesadillas, tacos, nachos, and tostadas. I got the chicken recipe here from Jill Bauer, but it's basically this recipe: https://www.familyfreshmeals.com/2012/05/cool-ranch-crockpot-chicken-tacos-or-tostadas.html

It's easy to cook some up, shred it, then freeze it in separate portions to be used for different dinner options.

Some things I love in a quesadilla:

cool ranch chicken
shrimp
mixed Mexican shredded cheese
grilled onions and green bell peppers (fajita style)
refried beans (pinto or black beans)
canned black beans

I keep some sour cream and guacamole for dipping.

I love quesadillas but they have to be made with flour tortillas.

I don't like cornmeal anything.

I still have some turkey and ham left over in my freezer for Christmas. Last night I did one with turkey, gravy (instead of cheese) and a bit of stove top stuffing. Still had a bit of blackeyed peas from New Years Day in the fridge so I threw the last of that in there too. Peas but none of the juice. Tasted like the holidays. YUM
