Tortillas are basic, but they work hard for you. Fill them up with rotisserie chicken, spinach, cheese and pesto to make a lunch box-worthy quesadilla.
Ingredients
- ⅔ cups skinless, shredded rotisserie or leftover cooked chicken
- 2 tsp basil pesto
- ½ cup white cheddar cheese , divided
- 2 medium whole wheat tortillas
- ⅓ cup baby spinach
- 2 tsp canola oil
Instructions
- Toss chicken with pesto.
- Sprinkle ¼ cup cheddar cheese over half of each tortilla.
- Top cheese with reserved chicken mixture (dividing between two tortillas). Add baby spinach to each tortilla and divide another ¼ cup cheddar cheese between them. Fold in half and press down to seal.
- Heat canola oil in frying pan over medium. Add quesadillas and fry for 1 to 2 min per side or until tortillas are golden and cheese is melted. Cut into wedges and serve or pack in a lunch box.
