BUFFALO CHICKEN QUESADILLAS
This is an easy way to serve up a quick dinner with a lot of flavor! No need to use oil or butter to toast each side of the quesadilla, but you can if you'd like. I prefer a dry heat. Tortillas made with a corn-flour mixture work best. Serve with either Buffalo sauce, ranch dressing, or sour cream!

Steps:
- Lay 6 tortillas on the work surface, and divide the cheese, jalapenos and chicken among the tortillas. (It's best to leave about an inch border on the edge of the tortilla uncovered to allow for the spread of the melting cheese.) Top with remaining tortillas and press gently to seal. Melt 1 tablespoon butter in a small skillet. Carefully place a quesadilla in the skillet and fry, turning once, until golden and little bubbles appear on both sides, 4 to 5 minutes in all. Repeat with the remaining quesadillas, wiping out the pan between batches if the butter burns.
- While the quesadillas cook, make the salsa: Halve the tomatoes and grate them on the largest holes of a box grater into a bowl, discarding the skins. Grate the onion into the tomato and stir in the cilantro, hot sauce and salt, to taste.
- Cut quesadillas into 4 wedges with a pizza wheel or knife and serve with the salsa and avocado.

CHICKEN, BLACK BEAN & CORN GRILLED QUESADILLAS
Now, leftovers ... wondering what to do with a chicken breast or a little rotisserie chicken left over. Take frozen corn, a can of beans, a little fresh ingredients and packaged cheese and WOW. Now I like to roast fresh corn, but frozen corn is just fine for this if time is a problem. Grill inside or outside and top with some fresh tomato, maybe some sour cream or avocado and serve over some quick Mexican rice and a bed of lettuce and dinner for 4. I make these a lot utilizing leftovers and it makes an amazing quick dinner. You can make these completely vegetarian, or use up ham, shrimp, chicken, steak, any veggies in your fridge. Then have fun with the toppings ... Salsa, mango, avocado, sour cream, guacamole, a nice bed of shredded lettuce or even some good Mexican rice.

Steps:
- Filling -- In a large saute pan, add the garlic, jalapeno and cook 2 minutes, then add the beans, corn, chicken, cilantro, cumin, chili powder and mix well and heat up. That is it.
- Stuff the Quesadilla -- Top one side of the quesadilla with the filling, top with cheese and fold in half (to form a half circle).
- Grill -- This can be done on a inside grill pan or outside grill, saute pan, or a 400 degree oven. Just make sure to brush the quesadilla with some oil oil to get a nice crispy golden brown quesadilla. Just a couple of minutes per side is all it takes on the grill or grill pan. Just make sure the cheese melts and the quesadilla gets golden brown. Medium heat is all you need. Each grill inside or out or saute pan is different so just cook until golden brown is all.
- Serve -- Cut the quesadilla in 2-3 slices. I just use a pizza cutter or a knife works fine. For me -- I serve over a bed of lettuce or Mexican rice, then add maybe some sour cream, salsa and always avocado slices (just my favorite). Use your favorite toppings. Fresh diced tomatoes or black olives are also very good. ENJOY!

- 2. Cook chicken, you can fry it or even boil it. Chop and shred the chicken, and season it with seasoned salt or salt and pepper.
- 3. Take large skillet, pour oil in so the outside of burrito can get crunchy. Take burrito and spread your sauce on top, add cheese to one half of the burrito, and then top with chicken. Place in hot oil, fry, and flip one side over like an omlet, fry until crispy and light brown. Continue with other burritos.
