Birthday Chicken Quesadilla

For his birthday I will make Brian whatever he desires for dinner. This is the second year he has chosen his favorite meal, a simple chicken quesadilla. Easy enough for me, he even requested it to be rotisserie chicken from Costco, so that made it one step even easier! This is a simple refried bean, chicken and pepper jack quesadilla. The fun thing about quesadilla is you can really chose whatever ingredients you love and it would turn out great. That would be a fun Mexican themed dinner party, have a build your own quesadilla bar and have a whole bunch of fillings for your dinner guests to chose from!

I did make homemade guacamole and salsa to make this dinner a little more special=).

Salsa- diced fresh tomatoes, diced onion, juice of one lime, a couple cloves of pressed garlic, handful of cilantro chopped. Let sit in fridge for a bit before eating.

Guacamole- 1-2 ripe avocados mashed, juice of one lime, 1 tablespoon of finely chopped onion, 1/2 tomato diced, a couple dashes of garlic salt and a handful of chopped cilantro. (I also make it without the onion and turns out great too).

  1. Mmmmm...guacamole.... Lucky Brian! For the guac, too, if you want to cheat, you can pick up a container of pico de gallo and mix it in after you've mashed your cados, lime juice and salt.

  2. That's a really good idea! Lately I have more tomatoes than I know what to do with, well I should be happy most people didn't get any this year!
