Ten Dollar Dinners: Speedy Salsa-Chicken Quesadillas
Published on: August 21, 2008
Labor Day is just around the corner and this recipe that Kathy found for Speedy Salsa-Chicken Quesadillas might be just the ticket to feed the family in the back to school crunch.
Kathy's comments: This is a crazy week at our house ... we just got back from vacation and we will be gearing up this week for a long drive to bring our oldest daughter, Lauren, back to college. So, between packing her things up and heading to all the last minute doctor appointments, I wanted to find something quick and easy. I tried this recipe for quesadillas that I found on Kraftfoods.com and they were great! So easy, the kids can make them. Five thumbs up!
