We will keep running forward with the Pesto theme! Again it is more of an idea to spark you all to think a bit outside the traditional box and have some fun with your food. Quesadillas are a fantastic base to play with flavors and bring some variety to your meal rotation. I loved adding the punch of balsamic glaze ( a huge favorite of mine) to the pesto and a little red onion just, wow!! Have a blast with this family pleaser.

Ingredients:

  • Large Tortilla Shells

  • 2-4 tbsp of Pesto per Quesadilla

  • 1/4-1/3 cup of Mexican melty Cheese ( my favorite)

  • Leftover slices (or shredded) of cooked Chicken

  • Slices of Grape Tomatoes

  • Thinly slice Red Onions

  • Drizzle of Balsamic Glaze

Putting together:

First: Heat a griddle to medium heat, lay one tortilla on the griddle for 30 seconds, and then flip

Second: Spread about a tbsp or so onto the tortilla, then add the cheese.

Third: Top with chicken, tomato, and onion.

Fourth: Drizzle with balsamic glaze.

Fifth: Once the cheese is mostly melted, do the flip. You will flip the tortilla in half. It will look like a half-moon. I continue to cook for another 5-8 minutes to get the golden color on the shell.

ENJOY!
