Chicken Quesadillas

The real recipe for these quesadillas is the chicken filling.  It's a crock pot recipe that is extremely easy, but also really delicious.

Shredded Chicken Filling
1.5 lbs boneless skinless chicken breasts
1 (16 oz) jar salsa

Place chicken in 4 quart crock pot.  Pour salsa over the chicken.  Cover and cook on LOW for 6-8 hours.  Shred the chicken with two forks.

Chicken Quesadillas
olive oil
2 flour tortillas
1 cup shredded chicken, divided
1/2 cup grated cheddar cheese
low fat sour cream

Heat a splash of olive oil in skillet and wipe with a paper towel to evenly coat.  Heat flour tortillas for a few seconds on the hot surface, one at a time.  Spread half the chicken and half the cheese onto each tortilla.  Fold each tortilla over to create two half circles.  Place both folded tortillas back on the skillet and grill for a few minutes on each side until heated through and lightly browned.  Remove from heat, slice into triangles and serve with sour cream for dipping.
