     This family LOVES this meal! It is easy to make, too. The step that takes me the longest is shredding the chicken, so once you’re through that you’re golden. This recipe is enough to serve 5 people.
      Ingredients
     ½ lb. chicken breast
     ½ cup barbecue sauce
     8 medium soft flour tortillas
     12 oz. shredded Monterey Jack/ Cheddar cheese
     2 tomatoes, diced
     1/3 cup minced red onion
 
Preheat oven to 375º. Brush chicken breast with barbecue sauce and grill til cooked through. Unfortunately, I can’t tell you how long to do this on an actual grill because I haven’t mastered our outside grill. I use that and everything’s charred on the outside and raw on the inside. So, I use my George Foreman Grill and it cooks in about 5-7 minutes. I love that thing! It’s great when I’m in a hurry to make dinner because it cooks things in no time flat.
Cover two cookie sheets with tin foil (this makes clean-up so much easier, especially since the cheese will melt) and place two tortillas on each. Spread 1/4 cup of cheese over each tortilla. Once chicken is cooked, shred it using two forks.
 

Spread chicken evenly over the four tortillas. Divide tomatoes among the tortillas and spread.
Add diced onion to each tortilla and then cover each with remaining cheese. Cover with four tortillas.

Bake at 375F for 10 minutes.

 
 
 
 
 

Oh boy, I deleted the picture of the finished product. Obviously, I hit a button I wasn’t supposed to. I’ll see if I can find it and post it tomorrow.
     I have a rating system of 1-4 rolling pins: 1 being horrible, we couldn’t stand it, definitely don’t recommend it, and you’re on your own if you decide to bake it, and 4 being absolutely loved it and cannot get enough of it, you need to bake this! My grilled chicken quesadillas are rated a 3½ rolling pins. They are really good and I make them at least twice a month because they’re easy.
     Happy baking!
