Serves: 6 – 8
Ingredients
4 Chicken breasts or thighs or any combination. You can use sliced beef, or ground beef, , ground turkey, shirmp or fish (we use fish sticks).
1 can corn (this is the price for 1 can–look for bulk prices in your local stores)
1 can diced green chilies (bulk price)
1 can sliced olives (bulk price)
1 can red kidney beans (bulk price)
1 can black beans (spicy or plain) (bulk price)
1 package of dirty rice (price for 1 but I buy in bulk)
2 cups of water
1 package of soft tortilla shells These are the carb smart tortillas. We eat the 1 Net Carb Tortilla’s They’re small but we make more than one!
2 packages of mixed Mexican shredded cheese This is for 12 packages, so 6 meals…or you can just buy one. Remember Cheese freezes!
Directions
Dice and brown meat choice. Add garlic and onions. Cook until done.
Add all other ingredients and cook on medium heat until rice is done about 45 mins.
Lay out tortilla and spoon the cooked ingredients onto one side. Sprinkle cheese over the entire mixture.
Fold tortilla in half and place in George Foreman Grill or in a skillet and brown. (I like this George Foreman because the plates come out and make it easy to clean! )
Slice into triangles. Enjoy!
This recipe will make about 12 quesadillas.
Tips: You can make ahead and freeze. Wrap in foil and bake in the oven when thawed.
Or freeze just the mixture to use another day for a fast meal. (You can freeze the tortillas, warm up in the microwave wrapped in a moist papertowel.
*Buying in bulk not only saves money, but fills your pantry. Having these items on hand allows you to make a healthy, filling meal in minutes.
**WE have a lot of allergies around there, so I pick organic, gluten free, grass fed, whenever we can! You can find things cheaper but I suggest you avoid the expensive health issues and whenever you can choose foods that are as close to natural as you can get! 😉
*Affiliate marketing-I may receive minor compensation for products you purchase from my links to Amazon. I search for lower costs, but at times you may find bulk purchases in your local store.
