Who doesn't love Mexican food? It's just something about ooey, gooey cheese and earthy beans that keep me coming back for more! I could probably live off Mexican food for the rest of my life but I love too many different foods to abandon them! So when I am in the mood for a little Mexican I often throw something like these super quick quesadillas together.


For my quesadillas I used shredded chicken that I had in the freezer from some drumsticks I cooked a while ago, which cut down on cooking time!

Quick Quesadillas

1-1 1/2 C shredded chicken
~1/2 can black beans
~1 C shredded cheese
6 flour tortillas
Salsa
Sour cream

Directions

Heat a skillet with butter over med-high heat


Add a tortilla and sprinkle a little cheese on half then your chicken,


Next add your beans then top it off with more cheese


Fold the tortilla half without food over, then flip the whole thing, the side that was pan down should be nicely browned


Once the cheese is melted, remove from skillet and repeat with remaining tortillas. I like to cut mine in half when I serve them but you can leave them whole. Serve with salsa and sour cream on the side!




I originally made this sauce for my Krabby Patty recipe but it can be used on any seafood or on a burger or even as dipping sauce for chicken tenders, onion rings or any other fried and/or crunchy goodness! This "recipe" is one of my I-didn't-measure-anything-and-added-stuff-as-I-went recipes so definitely experiment with it and tweak it to your tastes!






I used ketchup, creamy horseradish, mayo (rare occasion), deli mustard, minced garlic, black pepper, cayenne pepper, onion powder, a little sugar and like a squeeze of lemon juice. Dumped all that in my mini chopper (you could also use a blender) and blended until smooth





You can find tons of recipes for remoulade sauces online if you want a more structured recipe but I tried to use equal parts of all the the "liquid" stuff, maybe 1 T but a bit more ketchup, roughly 1 t garlic, and like 1/4 t or less of the spices and sugar.




It came together really quickly and was the perfect sweet heat addition to my krabby patties! I'll definitely be making it again to dip fried fish and shrimp in!
