Simple, spicy and quick! Let me explain the title: I had bought ingredients for 2 different recipes and was making the quesadillas. As I dumped the second can of tomatoes with chiles into the mix, I realized they were for the other recipe! Ooops! Well, guess what? It turned out pretty good! As most of my recipes, don't make this if your family doesn't care for spicy food.

SERVES 4 -8 , 4 quesadillas (change servings and units)

Ingredients

1 (10 ounce) can chicken breasts, strained and shredded
2 (10 ounce) cans tomatoes and green chilies (I prefer Rotel)
2 cups monterey jack cheese, shredded
1/4 cup green onion, sliced
8 flour tortillas (burrito size)

Directions

1
Strain the tomatoes using a strainer. Make sure all liquid is out.
2
Mix shredded chicken, tomatoes, cheese, and onions.
3
Lay out 4 of the tortillas. Spread a thin even layer of the mix over the tortillas - making sure to cover the entire tortilla. Cover each with extra tortilla.
4
Using non-stick pan, lightly brown on both sides, making sure cheese melts.
5
Slice into 4-6 pieces and serve with sour cream, salsa, pico de gallo, salad --
6
We use this as a meal, but if you want to use it as appetizers, substitute the burrito-sized tortillas with 16 taco-sized. Spread the mixture over 8 of them and top with the other 8. Slice into 4 pieces.
