Quesorittos

Category:

I have to say this dinner may not look pretty but it's delish. I haven't posted anything in a while because we literally had soup for daaaaays. So as I cautioned in that recipe I'm going to say it again- it makes a LARGE portion, cut it in 1/2 if you wish.

So back to the quesorittos: the name originates from the basic idea of a quesadilla with the fixings of a burrito but assembled like a pizza. Whew! That's a mouthful. Anyway I have to start by saying that in case you don't know, the EASIEST way to shred chicken is to cook it in the crockpot. I just recently learned this and am SO happy I did because shredding chicken with two forks was much too much work if you ask me. Anyway, once it's cooked it will fall apart and is SO easy to make so many different things. Ok enough of my fantastic new found information and on to the recipe!



1lb of boneless skinless chicken breast (you can use dark meat as well)
1 package of Lawrys chicken taco seasoning
1 1/2 cup of water
1 15oz can of Bush's black beans
1 15oz can of sweet corn
1 package of tortillas
1 package of mexican blend cheese (or whatever you have on hand)
*Optional:
 your favorite salsa
 avocado
 sour cream

Turn your crock pot on low and place either frozen or thawed chicken in with 1 1/2 cups of water and taco seasoning (you can just toss it on top no worries on mixing or anything, that easy!)
If you are cooking frozen chicken it takes about 4-5 hrs, thawed takes an hour maybe 2, (cooking times can vary) but it wont dry out because of the water as long as its on LOW.


Once the chicken has cooked through you can use a fork to pull it apart in the crockpot. Meanwhile heat up beans as well as the corn. Heat up tortillas and you begin the "pizza" making. Heat one tortilla sprinkle some cheese, pulled chicken, a layer of beans and corn, another sprinkle of cheese and top it off with a tortilla. Put it on flat griddle until tortilla crisps on both sides. We like to use a pizza slicer to cut it into smaller, easier pieces to eat. Top it with slices of avocado and salsa, or you can also choose to add salsa IN the quesorittos while you are layering, but it's all preference.


BONUS :)
I also happen to make these with left over pot roast and it's just as fantastic. But I add a few things, you'll have to keep checking for that recipe but I promise you won't be disappointed.
