One of my go-to quick dinners is quesadillas just like with these chicken and green chile quesadillas. They are fast to make and are a great way to use up leftovers I may have in my fridge.

I recently had some rotisserie chicken in my fridge that I wanted to do something with and I immediately thought quesadillas. I also had some green chiles in my fridge so I decided to use them too. My son introduced me to Hatch Valley 505 flame roasted green chilies in a jar. If you can get your hands on a jar they are definitely worth it. They are the next best thing to fresh roasted ones. They add so much more flavor than the ones I would usually buy in a can.

Then you have to have cheese. I usually always have a blend of Monterrey jack and cheddar in my fridge, so that is what I used.  Then it was amazing served up with a guacamole dip! These make a great dinner of lunch!
