BLENDER CHICKEN QUESADILLAS
I guess this really isn't a recipe... I woke up one morning and was looking for something fast and easy to cook for lunch. I took out left over chicken (can be grilled or pan-fryed) and got to work. This turned out be a wonderful fast treat.

Steps:
- Heat 1 tablespoon of the olive oil in a skillet over high heat. Sprinkle the chicken with salt, pepper and taco seasoning. Add the chicken to the skillet and saute over medium-high heat until done, about 4 minute per side. Remove from the skillet and dice into cubes. Set aside.
- Add the remaining 1 tablespoon olive oil to the skillet over high heat. Throw in the onions and peppers and cook until the peppers have a few dark brown/black areas, 3 to 4 minutes. Remove and set aside.
- Sizzle 1/2 tablespoon of the butter in a separate skillet or griddle over medium heat and lay a flour tortilla in the skillet. Then build the quesadillas by laying grated cheese on the bottom tortilla, and then arranging the chicken and cooked peppers. Top with a little more grated cheese and top with a second tortilla.
- When the tortilla is golden on the first side, carefully flip the quesadilla to the other side, adding another 1/2 tablespoon butter to the skillet at the same time. Continue cooking until the second side is golden. Repeat with the remaining tortillas and fillings.
- Cut each quesadilla into wedges and serve with Pico de Gallo.
- Dice up equal quantities of tomatoes and onions. Roughly chop the cilantro.
- Now, slice 1 or 2 jalapenos in half. With a spoon, scrape out the seeds. (If you like things spicy, leave in some of the white membranes.) Dice the jalapenos very finely; you want a hint of heat and jalapeno flavor, but you don't want to cause any fires. Now dump the four ingredients into a bowl.
- Slice the lime in half and squeeze the juice from half the lime into the bowl. Sprinkle with salt, and stir together until combined. Be sure to taste the pico de gallo and adjust the seasonings, adding salt or more diced jalapeno if needed.

BLACK BEAN AND CHICKEN QUESADILLAS
This is a recipe that my mom and I came up with. My hubby loves it and requests it often. For a quick version, try buying a pre-cooked box of seasoned fajita chicken instead of cooking your own. You can also buy black bean dip in a pinch.

Tips for Making Perfect Blender Chicken Quesadillas:
- Use Fresh Ingredients: The fresher the ingredients, the better your quesadillas will taste. Use fresh chicken, vegetables, and spices for the best flavor. - Blend the Chicken Properly: Make sure the chicken is blended until it is smooth and creamy. This will help it cook evenly and prevent it from becoming dry. - Use a Hot Skillet: Heat the skillet over medium-high heat before cooking the quesadillas. This will help the tortillas get crispy and prevent the cheese from sticking to the pan. - Don't Overcrowd the Skillet: Cook the quesadillas in batches if necessary. Overcrowding the skillet will prevent them from cooking evenly. - Serve Immediately: Quesadillas are best served hot and fresh. Top them with your favorite toppings and enjoy!Conclusion:
Blender chicken quesadillas are a quick, easy, and delicious meal that can be enjoyed by people of all ages. With a little planning and preparation, you can have a delicious and satisfying meal on the table in no time. So next time you're looking for a quick and easy weeknight meal, give blender chicken quesadillas a try. You won't be disappointed!
