A+ for Mrs. Reem's freezer quesadillas

Radler

My afternoon of making freezer meals for after the baby is born turned into a yummy early dinner for me!! I just had to sample one of the quesadillas!  The rest are cooling in the kitchen. I hope I don't eat them all before they make it into the freezer.  

Seriously, these are really awesome!

Yum!  I'll have to try them!  I am obsessed with her (and Skimmy's) chicken pillows -- I have put them on the menu once a week for the few weeks, lol.

Awww thank you!!! It makes me happy to know that you liked them.

It's the cream cheese, isn't it? It makes them soooo much better.  lol!

Quesadillas for the freezer

3 packages (10 count) flour tortillas


1 packet taco seasoning

1-2 store bought small rotisserie chicken OR do a whole chicken in your crockpot (2 if you do all chicken and 1 if you do half chicken and half cheese quesadillas)

1 medium sized onion diced finely and cooked

1 medium sized pepper (red or green - or half of each!) diced and cooked

2 bricks of cream cheese

15 cups or 3-5 bags of shredded Mexican cheese blend

To assemble:

- cube or shread your chicken and toss with taco seasoning and cooked onions and peppers in a bowl

- Lay out a few tortillas and spread them with a thin layer of cream cheese (This is my *secret* for the best tasting quesadillas. You've gotta trust me. )

- Top with 1/2 c. shredded cheddar cheese

- If making chicken quesadilla also add 1/2 c. chicken mixture

- Top with second flour tortilla and fry in pan, one at a time until golden.

- Place your cooled quesadillas in a gallon size freezer bag separated by parchment paper (or wax paper or whatever you've got)

To reheat:
-Remove quesadillas from freezer and cover with a damp paper towel. Microwave on high until heated through, about 1 minute.
