It’s always great when you can make leftovers into a second delicious meal. I used the leftovers from my BBQ Chicken Fajitas. I had a lot leftover so I decided to make them into BBQ Chicken and Rice Quesedillas. You can even serve these as little appetizers at your next party. They are a perfect finger food. When I made the fajitas, I made a side dish of white rice so I just mixed the chicken mixture into the rice and that is what I used as my stuffing. To see how I make my BBQ Chicken and Rice Quesedillas, keep on reading.
BBQ Chicken and Rice Quesedillas
Serves 4
Ingredients
Leftover chicken and rice fajita mixture which can be found over here. If you don’t have enough leftovers, make a double batch of the fajitas or just use the fajita mixture to make the quesedillas
8 oz shredded extra sharp cheddar cheese
8 (8 inch) tortilla wraps
Directions
Preheat oven to 400 degrees
Lay 1 tortilla on a flat surface and spread some of the chicken fajita mixture all over to about 1/2 inch from the edge. Top with a few tablespoons of the cheese. Cover with another tortilla and press firmly but be careful not to push the chicken mixture out of the sides.
Line a sheet pan with non stick foil and carefully add the quesedilla on top of it. Place under the broiler for about 2 minutes. You will need to watch it very carefully because it can burn quite quickly. When the top of the tortilla starts to turn a nice light brown color, carefully flip over. Be very careful when flipping. You will need to use both hands and 2 spatulas.
Repeat with the remaining quesedillas.
Enjoy!
