CHICKEN AND CHEESE QUESADILLAS

This is one of my son's favorite foods.  I made these as Weight Watcher friendly as possible!  They are a super fast meal.  We made extras and ate them for lunch the next day.  These are NOT spicy.......very bland.  You can add your own seasonings and amp up the heat if you wish.



INGREDIENTS

2 cans of cut-up chicken breast (undrained)
1/4 cup oatmeal
1 Tbsp. onion flakes
1/2 tsp. minced garlic
1/2 tsp. chili powder
4 Tbsp. taco or enchilada sauce
8 whole wheat tortillas
2 cups Mexican reduced fat cheese blend.

DIRECTIONS

Open chicken and pour it into a large skillet.  Use your fingers to finely shred the chicken.  Add the oats and spices. Turn heat to medium and cook until oats are blended in with the meat.  Place spoonfuls of meat mixture in the center of a tortilla.  Spread with a spoon or knife to cover all but the outer inch of the tortilla.  Sprinkle cheese over the chicken.  Heat another skillet to medium-low.  Spray pan with nonstick cooking spray.  Place the tortilla with chicken into the pan.  Cover with another tortilla.  Cook until warmed through and then flip over to warm other side of quesadilla.  Use spatula to push down on edges of quesadilla to help seal the edge. You need to spray the pan again in-between quesadillas.  Cut into deisred number of servings.  Serve with sour cream, salsa, and such.
