Ingredients

Instructions

  • Preheat oven to 400F. Roast veggies (or use any leftover roasted veggies you have) by placing on a foil-lined baking sheet. Spray with cooking spray or toss with oil, sprinkle with salt and pepper, and bake for 15-20 minutes until fork tender.*
  • Build quesadillas by adding ¼ cup organic shredded FULL FAT cheddar jack blend to one tortilla, top with ¼ cup shredded chicken, ½ roasted veggies, ½ chopped bell pepper (de-seeded & deveined), and finish with ¼ cup shredded cheese. Spread ¼ cup guac accross the second tortilla and place on top of the first one, guac side down.
  • Heat a skillet on medium and add quesadilla to the skillet. When quesadilla is crispy on one side and beginning to get hot throughout, flip to the other side using a very wide spatula or two spatulas at once. It should be about 5 minutes on each side.
  • Enjoy your quesadilla!
