Chicken-n-Veggies Quesadilla Sandwiches

By Kelly · 7 Comments


These are so yummy! But they’re also super quick and easy, which makes them one of the boys’ favorite choices when it’s their night to help cook dinner!

Time-Saving Tip: These quesadillas take virtually minutes to make when you have leftover shredded roast chicken or grilled chicken already on hand from a previous night’s dinner. That’s why meal planning is such a blessing! By making a weekly meal plan, you can simply plan to save extra roasted chicken, or grill double the amount of chicken, so you can save it for use in other meals like this one. And you can schedule prep time on your meal plan to make other things too like homemade tortillas, rice, beans, salsa, etc. that you plan to use for the week ahead.


I’m a huge advocate of Kids in the Kitchen – teaching your kids to cook and enjoy real food is such a blessing and a skill that will bless them and their families when they shoot out like arrows into the world!

Chicken-n-Veggies Quesadilla Sandwiches

Yield: 4 servings

Chicken-n-Veggies Quesadilla Sandwiches

Ingredients

  • 1 1/2 cups shredded roast chicken or diced grilled chicken
  • 8 oz. raw milk cheese
  • 3 cups loosely-packed fresh spinach leaves
  • 1 ripe avocado
  • 4-8 Gluten-free tortillas
  • Pastured butter

Instructions

  1. Grate the cheese and dice the avocado; set aside.
  2. Heat griddle (or large skillet) over medium-high heat. Butter hot griddle and add tortillas. Allow to heat for a minute, then flip to opposite side and heat for another minute. Flip back over and sprinkle tortillas with an even layer of cheese across top.
  3. Then, add a handful of precooked chicken evenly across the top, followed by a layer of diced avocado and fresh spinach leaves.
  4. Sprinkle top of spinach with a little more cheese and then gently fold the tortilla in half like a sandwich.
  5. For a big "sandwich," do not fold the tortilla in half, but instead, place another already warmed tortilla on top and flip entire " round sandwich" over.
  6. Allow to cook about two minutes on one side until lightly browned on bottom and then flip over on other side for a minute or two, until lightly browned.
  7. Serve with cultured sour cream and your favorite fresh homemade pico de gallo. DELISH!
  8. For a heartier dinner, add a side of black beans and cilantro rice.

Enchilada Casserole (GF Option)

By Kelly · 4 Comments


This delicious enchilada casserole is so versatile. Simply use any precooked meat or poultry that you have on hand and combine it with some gluten-free tortillas, pinto beans, homemade enchilada sauce and lots of other delicious real food ingredients to create a hearty, flavorful meal the whole family with love.

This casserole makes a wonderful meal to make for a “meals ministry” or church fellowship. It also freezes well, so why not prepare two and freeze one for a future meal. When ready to bake, simply thaw the casserole completely in the fridge, and then bake for a quick weeknight meal.
