Leftovers for lunch

I love quesadillas. I eat at least one per week. They are quick, filling and mostly healthy. I took some leftover rotisserie chicken and created a new combo. 
Throw your rotisserie chicken into a skillet on medium, just to warm it up.
Slice some grape tomatoes (or cherry or whatever you have) in half and add to   the chicken.
Put one tortilla down in the skillet, add some cheese (I used leftover cheddar and colby, but you can use mozzarella or swiss or whatever floats your boat), then add your heated tomatoes and chicken. Top with another tortilla. When you see the tortilla starting to brown, flip over and brown the other side.
Plop it on a plate, use a pizza cutter to easily slice into quarters. Yummy! Please dip into some spicy salsa and sour cream!


Recipe
2 tortillas
1/2 cup grape tomatoes (or cherry)
1/2 cup leftover rotisserie chicken
1/4 cup cheddar and colby cheese (or a combo of any of your favorite cheeses)


Place skillet on the stove and heat to medium. Add your chicken. Slice the tomatoes into halves and add those to the chicken. After the chicken and tomatoes are heated through, set aside in a bowl. Add one tortilla to the skillet. Sprinkle on your cheese and add the chicken/tomato mixture. Top with another tortilla. Flip after side is browned. Place on your plate and cut with a pizza cutter. 


Honestly, this was one of my more boring combos. I usually add mushrooms and onions. You could also add spinach or leftover asparagus. Spice it up with cumin or jalapeno oil. The options are endless! Enjoy!
