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!

Digestion being Gluten-FreeFollow my blog with Bloglovin

Since the first day I started gluten-free. I have notice my food is digesting immediately. My system is also making much more noise. LOL. I am a little afraid to eat in public. I thought maybe it was just because I was eating so many grapes. I have found it is after every meal for about a half hour. The neat thing about this immediate digestion is that my stomach area is not bloated all day like it used to be. I do notice tummy bloat if I eat just a little bit of gluten on accident. For example, you would think beef jerky would be gluten free. apparently not. I ate a little. It tasted delicious. I didn't realize it had any gluten. The next morning I woke up with a funny taste in my mouth and a bloated tummy all day long. I didn't put two and two together until I read the back of the beef jerky packaging. Warning: Contains wheat and soy. My PA (Physician's Assistant) says my headaches will often get worse with major nausea. I am hoping the gluten free...

Sugar Cravings, Detox and More

So my hubby was selected by his company to be a lead in a certain group which meant he would be traveling for 4 days. Perfect, I thought. I will only eat vegies or fruit, and drink coffee, tea or water. My fav foods are vegies and fruit. I know I need protein so I eat it, but if I didn't have to I wouldn't eat it everyday. I love, vegies, fruit and desert. In fact one of my fav meals is a huge vegie plate and a pint of Hagen Daaz Gelato. So...I decided to do a detox while my hubby was out of town. $72.00 for what I felt was 4 days worth of fruits and vegetables. I did the detox. Only water, coffee or tea. Only vegetables or fruits. No sauces, no sugars, no condiments except herbs and spices. Every day about 3p, I started getting a headache. I would eat a piece of fruit. That wouldn't help. I decided after those 3 days that I am addicted to sugar. So I am now working my way to be sugar free with the exception of fruits. The holidays are proving challenging because of f...
