Grande Chicken Quesadilla

Since mother nature decided to throw up all over my yard, we are spending more time indoors. That means more art projects, more baking, and a need to get organized. As I got through the kitchen, I am realizing I have a bunch of gadgets. I have my panini maker, a Ninja Blender set, my mixers, the slow cookers, the deep fryer, the InstaPot and even a quesadilla maker.

Mmmmmm quesadillas. Most people would think that we dont use outquesadilla makervery often, but you would be surprised. Quesadillas make great after school snacks. They also provide easy meals while I am at work, or while the family is on the go; heading out hunting or to band practice for example.

My favorite quesadilla is loaded with Mexican Cheese Dip. grilled chicken, bacon, and jalapenos. I top it with my favorite salsa. My husband adds guacamole and sour cream as well.
