I have been all about the quick and easy meals this week and last night was no exception, especially after allowing myself to be tortured by my Wednesday-night workout “Core & More”. Usually I double up and also take spin class after that, but decided not to this week. All I wanted was food in my belly and to not move for as long as possible.

Ingredients to make chicken bacon avocado quesadillas.

• Tortillas
• Rotisserie chicken
• Bacon
• Avocado
• Green onions
• Shredded Mexican cheese blend
• Butter

This this cheesy chicken bacon avocado quesadilla worked out quite well. I whipped up these quesadillas and dinner was served and digesting in my belly before I knew it. Although I was tempted to slather some ranch dressing on it, I resisted because it was excellent without. Then I curled up in a blanket with the current book I am reading (Drangonfly in Amber from the Outlander series) until Brent was online and able to video chat.

Apparently he is upset I made homemade Tagalongs (a sweet he will actually eat a lot of) while he is out of the country. I wanted to scold him by saying “that’s what you get for going to Costa Rica/Panama for two weeks without me”, but of course I caved and admitted I was saving some for his return. I’m too nice. But back to the current food item…

Head over to Kevin & Amanda for step-by-step pictures if you need guidance for making these cheesy chicken avocado quesadillas.
