We had these as a quick weeknight meal and they were delicious. I had made the bacon and chicken in advance, which made it even quicker.
They’re really hard to photograph though. LOL Take my word – they’re tasty!
I didn’t measure my chicken – I just used two large chicken breasts, and the tortillas I used were what we had on hand – burrito-sized. This combination made two LARGE quesadillas. DH finished his, but I only ate half of mine.
I also dipped mine in low fat ranch dressing. Yum!
