Simple, spicy and quick! Let me explain the title: I had bought ingredients for 2 different recipes and was making the quesadillas. As I dumped the second can of tomatoes with chiles into the mix, I realized they were for the other recipe! Ooops! Well, guess what? It turned out pretty good! :) As most of my recipes, don't make this if your family doesn't care for spicy food.

Ingredients

4 serv.
  • chicken breasts↗1 can

    strained and shredded

  • tomatoes and green chilies2 cans

    (I prefer Rotel)

  • monterey jack cheese↗2 cups

    shredded

  • green onion↗1⁄4 cup

    sliced

  • flour tortillas (burrito size)↗8

Step-by-step instructions

  1. 1

    Strain the tomatoes using a strainer. Make sure all liquid is out.

  2. 2

    Mix shredded chicken, tomatoes, cheese, and onions.

  3. 3

    Lay out 4 of the tortillas. Spread a thin even layer of the mix over the tortillas - making sure to cover the entire tortilla. Cover each with extra tortilla.

  4. 4

    Using non-stick pan, lightly brown on both sides, making sure cheese melts.

  5. 5

    Slice into 4-6 pieces and serve with sour cream, salsa, pico de gallo, salad --

  6. 6

    We use this as a meal, but if you want to use it as appetizers, substitute the burrito-sized tortillas with 16 taco-sized. Spread the mixture over 8 of them and top with the other 8. Slice into 4 pieces.
