Crispy Baked Pizza Chicken Quesadillas
We love to make pizza quesadillas as an easy weeknight meal. Marinara sauce, pizza seasonings, shredded chicken and cheese is covered with tortillas and baked until crispy. Top with sauce, cheese and pepperoni – boom! So easy and delicious.
We might be the biggest pizza lovers on the planet.
I can easily pizza-fy anything. So here we are with crispy baked pizza chicken quesadillas, with melty mozzarella, tons of sauce, pepperoni and crispy tortillas.
We are in love.
Can you tell I’m all about the easy back-to-school meals right now? The ones that we could prepare quickly, the ones that everyone loves – because at the moment, our evenings are jam-packed.
Like, crazy jam-packed with kids’ activities and school stuff.
I secretly love it. I have waited forever for this part of parenting and I.love.it.
But wow, the second shift of the day starts around 3 and doesn’t end until almost 9 or 10. Making sure that I have a meal on the table that everyone will eat is a huge win!
It also means that I have been crazy prepared and organized, especially with meal planning. We really like to save our restaurant eating for the weekends, so I try everything I can to make easy, fun, delicious meals happen from Monday to Thursday.
And I’m happy to say this is such a winner!
First, I can’t even tell you how filling and satisfying these are. Especially if you use a multigrain tortilla that is high in fiber. It’s fabulous!
Next, my kids freak out over pizza and if there is anything more customizable than a quesadilla, well… I don’t know what it is. The fact that I can change up the “toppings” (which are also the fillings in this case), the cheese, the sauce and still make dinner happen easily is KEY.
And! I use my baked quesadilla method for these, which makes them even easier. And I can get at least two large quesadillas made quickly and when I slice those into triangles, they feed multiple people. I can pop the rest in the oven and they are ready in time for anyone who wants seconds.
Now, you don’t have to add chicken to these quesadillas, but I love to use a rotisserie chicken here and up the protein a bit. It makes it feel more substantial too. (more…)
