Categories     Chicken

Number Of Ingredients 8

1 lb boneless chicken, cubed
1 can(s) cheddar cheese soup
1/2 c salsa
10 flour tortillas
1 can(s) chicken broth
1/2 c water
1/2 c salsa
2 c instant rice, uncooked

Steps:

  • 1. Oven to 425 degrees. Cook chicken until done and juices evaporate, I shredded it down a little. Add cheese soup and 1/2 c salsa and heat through. Spread about 1/3 c onto half of each tortilla to about 1/2" of edge. Moisten with water and fold over and seal. Put on 2 baking sheets, bake 5 min. Serve with rice.
  • 2. Fiesta Rice: Heat chicken broth, water and salsa to boil. Stir in rice, cover and remove from heat. Let stand 5 min, fluff with fork.

Tips:

  • Prep your ingredients: Before you start cooking, make sure all of your ingredients are prepped and ready to go. This will help you save time and avoid any scrambling during the cooking process.
  • Use fresh, high-quality ingredients: The quality of your ingredients will have a big impact on the flavor of your quesadillas. Whenever possible, use fresh, organic ingredients for the best results.
  • Don't overcrowd the pan: When cooking your quesadillas, don't overcrowd the pan. This will prevent them from cooking evenly and will make them more likely to stick.
  • Cook the quesadillas until they are golden brown: Cook the quesadillas over medium heat until they are golden brown on both sides. This will ensure that they are cooked through and have a nice crispy texture.
  • Serve the quesadillas with your favorite toppings: Quesadillas are a versatile dish that can be served with a variety of toppings. Some popular options include guacamole, salsa, sour cream, and shredded cheese.
