Chicken Club Quesadillas
Quesadillas make a quick and easy weeknight meal that you can have done in a snap. Many times I make them for dinner, but I also make them at lunch when it’s just me and my so too. Last night, I wanted to take all those flavors I love about a classic club sandwich and incorporate them in a cheesy quesadilla. Instead of deli meats, I used cooked chicken and bacon. Doesn’t bacon just always make everything better? I cooked the chicken in the bacon fat too so it was especially good. Then I used fresh ripe tomatoes, hass avocado and sweet vidalia onions along with lots of shredded Monterrey and Colby cheese to make these oogey gooey kid and adult approved quesadillas.
