Barbecue Chicken Quesadilla

Fall is upon us and it is one of my favorite seasons.  Fall means fairs, apple picking, changing fall colors, pumpkins, Halloween and football!  I love to make a lot of finger foods for us to snack on during the day while watching football.  One of our favorite finger foods to eat while watching football is quesadillas.  This meal is fun, quick and easy! Enjoy!

Barbecue Chicken Quesadilla
Recipe by Rins Recipes

Ingredients

1 tbsp olive oil
1lb chicken (sliced into thin strips)
1 small onion (cut in half and sliced)
1pkg fajitas seasoning
1/4 cup water
3/4 cup barbecue sauce
1 pkg of 8 flour tortillas (Burrito size)
4 cups shredded mexican cheese
Salsa and Sour Cream (garnish)

Directions

In medium size pan heat olive oil and place chicken in the pan.  Cook chicken through.  While chicken is cooking, slice the onion in half and then into thin slices.  Add onion, fajitas seasoning, water and 1/2 cup of barbecue sauce to the chicken and turn heat down onto medium low for 5 minutes. Remove from heat.

Preheat oven to 400 degrees F.  On a plate, place one tortilla and sprinkle with mexican cheese.  Place chicken mixture on top, pour a little more barbecue sauce over the top and sprinkle more cheese.  Cover with another tortilla.  Repeat with other tortillas.  Yields 4 quesadillas.

Place tortillas on baking pan and place in the oven for 5-10 minutes, until cheese is melted and tortillas are crispy. Can also use quesadilla maker (this is what I use).  Cut into triangles and garnish with salsa and sour cream.
