The ultimate juicy and cheesy quesadillas. I mean, you bite in it and the extra juice and the string of cheese. That's it your hand are all messy but isn't it even tastier?
This is just the recipe you need to get rid of your chicken leftover, being a roasted chicken, barbecue chicken breasts, will do the trick!
I did not have avocados or guacamole, it would have been a great addition. But let me tell you that even like this, alone, you don't need to get convinced to devour it!
I choose vine tomatoes because there are juicier. Also, red pepper is what I had in the fridge, but go ahead, yellow or orange are great too. Fruity peppers are just the perfect combination for chicken.
Oh and the cheese. Don't forget it, it's the best part! I had mozzarella but I used cheddar before and still good.
Yep, you can't go wrong with this recipe. How about this in front of the tv watching the soccer game, eh? Right, I don't watch soccer, I will be on the terrace sipping a drink and licking my fingers!
Do you eat in front of the tv? What is your favorite thing to munch on? I am controlling myself and trying not to... When I was on maternity leave, I would eat an impressive amount of chocolate when the kids would be asleep. I had to recharge. Legitimate and survival need! Ahah...
