Quesadillas are so much fun!

Pin It

Make the chicken ahead of time in the pressure cooker cooking it in water with the spices you like to infuse it, or buy it pre-cooked frozen and "nuke" it in the microwave, or get a rotisserie chicken and shred it.

I use my WP immersion blender and prep it all ahead of time...chopping chicken, peppers, onions, whatever i am using. I have it all ready and in the frige for when I am making quesadillas.

I spread the shredded cheese all over the tortillas to the edge to "glue" it shut and put the innards to about 1 inch to edge...cheese on top and bottom too to "glue" it.


If you have small children who are picky,chop veggies tiny to put in it. They wont' even know its there!

The sky is the limit with quesadillas...you can use just cheese, add veggies of your choice or even seafood!

Don’t forget to top them off with Salsa, Avocado or Guacamole and or Sour Cream

Have fun! You can make them on a Panini Grill or a quesadilla maker. The gas grill, even a cast iron from pan with some flipping.

Wolfie's panini grill is awesome, like all of his appliances! (Can ya tell I have a thing for Wolfgang Puck?? He's so cute too)
