Toppings are the best part of supper (#6?)

Toppings are the best part of supper! I swear K always comes up with good options for title... that and the kids can always make me laugh!!

Tonight for supper we had another new meal. Tonight was from our favourite cookbook and it's from the "teens can cook" section.

1 - Place tortillas on cutting board. Spread half of each tortilla with 1/2 cup of the barbecue chicken. Sprinkle 1/4 cup of the cheese over chicken. Top with drained chile peppers. Fold tortillas in half, pressing gently.

2 - Spray a 10-inch nonstick skillet with nonstick cooking spray. Heat skillet over medium heat. Cooke quesadillas, two at a time, in hot skillet for 4 to 6 minutes or until light brown, turning once. Remove quesadillas from skillet; place on a baking sheet. Keep warm in a 300F oven. Repeat with remaining quesadilla. To serve, cut each quesadilla into 3 wedges. Serve with salsa, sour cream and onion. Makes 4 main dish servings.

We changed it up again (lets be honest, when have we ever not changed it!), we didn't use the chile and we used tomatoes as a topping as well!

It was good! As far as the chicken goes I put it frozen into the crock pot with about 2 cups of water and put it on high. About 4 to 5 hours later I put in another cup of water and then about 1 hour after that I pulled the breasts out and shredded them. I put them in a container and added some BBQ sauce.

We topped them with sour cream, salsa, cheese, green onions and tomatoes. REALLY good!

Enjoy!
