Tortillas + Slow Cooker = Tasty Tacos and Quesadillas!

Slow cooker meals are perfect for fall as they provide a delicious “set and forget” option for everything from busy weeknight meals to football gatherings with friends and family.
While many people think to use a slow cooker for making things like roasts or chilis, it’s also a great way to prepare tasty, better-for-you tacos and quesadillas – especially when paired with our Smart & Delicious wraps and tortillas!

BBQ Chicken and Cheese Quesadilla (Courtesy of the Prevention RD)

• 2 (5 oz) boneless, skinless chicken breasts
• 1/4 cup low-sodium chicken broth
• 1/4 cup + 2 Tbsp barbecue sauce, divided
• La Tortilla Factory White Corn tortillas
• 1 cup 2% Mexican blend cheese, shredded and divided
• olive oil spray

Directions:

1. Combine chicken, broth, and 1/4 cup barbecue sauce in a slow cooker for 3 hours on high or 5-6 hours on low. Remove from crock pot and shred with 2 forks; add remaining 2 tablespoons barbecue sauce.
2. Heat an electric griddle or skillet over medium heat. Spray one side of each tortilla with olive oil spray and place oil side down onto the griddle or skillet. Sprinkle on the cheese and 1/4th of the chicken (2 1/2 ounces), layer on the second tortilla, oil side up. Brown the bottom of the quesadilla for 4-5 minutes and flip, cooking an additional 3-4 minutes or until browned. Serve immediately and with additional barbecue sauce, if desired.

Yield: 4 quesadillas.
