Quick, Easy Chicken Quesadillas

Normally, Saturday evenings are my easy dinner night.  I just throw in a ready to eat, prepared meal from Costco in the oven and sit back to relax - a little.  Lately, my mind has been going to the dogs.  I can not seem to remember much of anything despite my lists upon lists.  This past Saturday I forgot to add the usual prepared meal to my Costco list.  Let the panic begin!  Here is what I came up with - I have a stack of tortillas, some chicken defrosted, and cheese - light bulb!

Chicken Quesadillas

Ingredients

1 lb chicken tenderloins
6 8-in tortillas (makes 3 quesadillas)
3 tsp taco seasoning
1 cup mexican taco shredded cheese

Steps

1. Season chicken with taco seasoning
2.  Cook chicken with a little olive oil over medium heat in a fry pan, approximately 5 minutes per side.
3.  Remove from pan and shred chicken with forks.
4.  On a flat griddle, heat some butter and lay down one tortilla.  You will use one third of the cheese per quesadilla.  Using half of the third of a cup of cheese, lay down cheese onto tortilla.  Then lay down one third of the shredded chicken.  Spread remaining half of cheese on top.  Then carefully press second tortilla on top.
5.  When bottom tortilla is browned, careful lift the quesadilla and lay another pad of butter on the griddle.
6.  Once the butter has melted, flip the quesadilla over to brown the other side.
7.  Remove quesadilla from griddle when bottom is browned.
8.  Cut quesadilla into sixths.
9.  Repeat for remaining two quesadillas.

The Final Product

This was pretty quick and not to hard to make.  I was quite impressed with myself that it came out pretty tasty.  JT enjoyed three sectors and Thomas ate 2 sectors.  Between the two of them they devoured almost an entire quesadilla!  I am definitely going to put this one in the rotation!
