1 - 2 lbs of Chicken
4 tablespoons of butter
Soft Tortilla Shells (10 inches big or so)
Salt
Garilc Powder
1 -2 containers of Mushrooms ( I use sliced baby bella)
2 bell pepper
Cheese ( I have used American but what ever you can tolerate)

I end up making this at least once a month because my wife can eat off of this for days.

Take the chicken, pound it down to 1/2 - 3/4 inch thickness. Add salt and Garlic powder to taste. Saute until done. Set aside.

Cut up Bell pepper into 2 inch slices. Cut mushrooms if needed.

Add 3 tablespoons of butter to skillet and melt. Add Mushrooms and saute 10 minutes until tender. Add Bell Pepper and cook until desired tenderness. My wife likes them a little crunchy. Move veggies to seperate bowl.

Slice up chicken into strips.

Now on to the fun part.

Put down a tortilla add chicken, then cheese, then veggies. Butter up skillet and add quesadilla to skillet to melt cheese and crisp shell. I usually do 2 at a time. Turn when the bottom has browned slightly.

Repeat until you have run out of ingredients.

This is the version my wife likes the most. I have added other flavors as well. Very easy to be creative and makes a great meal for lunch.

Fantastic recipe!

Just a word about tortillas, check the brand you buy, some contain some very acidic preservatives! I buy the Trader Joe's Truly Handmade Flour and Trader Joe's Truly Handmade Whole Wheat tortillas & eat those without trouble....
