Notes

You can use rotisserie chicken to save time or cook your own chicken breast and shred it. Feel free to add other toppings like sliced bell peppers or onions if your kids aren’t too picky. These quesadillas also make a great lunchbox option – just reheat in the microwave for about 30 seconds!
