Crockpot chicken quesadillas

On a whim, I decided to use up our leftovers tonight instead of sticking with the meal plan. I took my chicken crockpot tacos recipe and instead of making tacos, got creative to make some quesadillas. They turned out delicious.

Ingredients:

Organic corn tortillas (I like Food for Life Ezekiel tortillas)
Chicken from my chicken crockpot tacos recipe
Quinoa
Organic cheese

Directions:

Bring 1/2 cup quinoa with 1 cup chicken stock to a boil.
Add spices to taste- I used salt, pepper, and Mexican seasoning.
Follow instructions on package to cook.
Place tortilla in skillet.
Place crockpot chicken on top (be sure to drain any liquid)
Place cooked quinoa.
Place shredded cheese
Place tortilla on top.
Heat on medium heat until warmed through.
Using 2 spatulas (one on top and one on bottom), flip
Heat until warmed through.
Serve with organic Greek yogurt, avocado or your favorite toppings.
Enjoy!
