Gluten-Free Chicken-Olive Quesadilla

This is now a family favorite. Easy to make. All fresh. Semi-homemade. It can be made in just a few minutes for lunch, a quick warm filling dinner or appetizers when guests come over.

Gluten-Free Chicken-Olive Quesadillas

Ingredients
1/2 cup chopped or pulled cooked chicken breast
3 tablespoons sliced black olives
1/4 teaspoon chili powder
1/4 teaspoon ground cumin
1 cup (4 ounces) shredded mozzarella cheese
Package of corn tortillas (we prefer the 6 inch size)

Salsa, sour cream and green chiles optional.

1. Combine first 6 ingredients in medium bowl.

2. Coat a skillet (any size) with cooking spray. Heat over medium heat.
3. Place one tortilla in skillet and add a couple large spoonfuls of chicken mixture.
4. Let cook for a minute then fold over one side of the tortilla and press on the other side until the cheese has melted enough to stick.
5. Brown tortilla on each side until the tortilla is crispy.
6. Serve with salsa, sour cream and green chilies.

So easy and so yummy.

Special Tips:
  • We use a roasted chicken from Publix grocery store. Be sure to take off the skin. You can use dark meat and white meat in this recipe. They are equally delicious although not equal in fat and calories.
  • Be sure to check your corn tortilla ingredients to be sure they do not contain wheat flour.
  • We added more black olives to the recipe because we love them.
  • We also added some yellow cheese because we love it.
  • The mix will keep in the refrigerator for a couple days so make extra for easy lunches.




Have a Happy Health-a-licious Week!

The December Adventure to Find a Delicious & Simple Gluten-Free Bread Recipe

Oh my goodness. I have tried a GF bread mix, GF flour, a mix of GF flour and rice flour all...yuck. Still the best GF bread recipe I have is cornbread. In fact, last week we turned it into a jalapeno cornbread. Now we are going to try a jalapeno & cheese cornbread. Amazing!! Add some beans on top and some GF chicken broth on top. Yummy. The Adventure 1. The GF recipe said, put all the dough in ONE bread pan and let rise to the rim and bake. Since I have baked homemade bread in the past, I thought, "Hmm. This sure is alot of dough for only one bread pan." And...it was. As it baked, it rose five inches above the bread pan itself. It browned on the outside and cooked the appropriate time, I took it out and it was not cooked on the inside. I laid it on a cooling rack like instructed, the bread collapsed. Very bizarre. I think the directions on the GF bread back need to be changed. LOL 2. I took an old recipe from my Grandfather and adapted it, adding GF baking flour an...

Make Ahead & Freeze Gluten Free Recipes.

After 8 months of gluten free eating my husband is on board to cook gluten free meals for me. He is an amazing cook. He is creative, follows the recipe and adds his own flair to make the recipe all his own. He even came in 2nd at a huge chili cook off at our church. He has created two new home recipes for me. Both are make ahead recipes. Both are freezable. In our household we like to cook twice a week. Enough to be evening staple meals for two or three days. With only two of us it makes it easier than most families of 4 or more. With these new freezable recipes we have been trying, we can cook on Sunday and have meals for a month if we choose. These recipes can stay in the freezer for up to 3 months. Pizza Tot Casserole 1 1/2lbs ground beef                                     ...
