Chicken Quesadillas

4 boneless skinless chicken breasts, chopped
1/2 tsp garlic powder (or seasoning of choice)
1/2 tsp pepper (or seasoning of choice)
1/2 jalapeno pepper, diced
8-10 flour tortillas
2 cups cheese, grated (I use a mix of Pepper Jack, Quesadilla and Cheddar)


In large skillet, cook chicken with garlic powder and pepper until thoroughly cooked. Remove from skillet and set aside.

Fry each tortillas in skillet, then place on a cookie sheet. Top half of each tortilla with cheese,  the chicken mixture, sprinkle on Jalapenos, and top with  more cheese. Fold in half and press gently and place in Ziploc freezer bag or wrap for the freezer. (I like to cook them all on the griddle it helps to melt the cheese so the tortillas stick together.)

On cooking day: Preheat oven to 375F. Do not thaw! Simply place the Quesadillas on the cookie sheet straight from the freezer, and bake for 15-20 minutes or until cheese is fully melted. (or you can use the microwave or toaster oven for a few minutes) Cut into wedges and serve with salsa, guacamole and/or sour cream.
