What happens when you combine the filling from my Chicken & Cheese Enchilada Casserole recipe with the same cooking technique used in my Classic Cuban & Black bean soup recipe? The answer, the Super Quick Chicken Quesadilla! The Mexican version of the personal pizza! The filling takes about 15 minutes to make. With the filling and rice & beans made up the day before, lunch can be made and ready to eat in a warp factor 5 minutes! Makes about 2 1/2 Quesadillas enough to feed 5 people (need more? Double recipe and feed 10)!
