'Ono Made Easy

Today for lunch I was super hungry, but there wasn't much in the fridge. When in doubt, make a quesadilla! I've been lovin' the T Marzetti's Chunky Blue Cheese Dressing lately, so I had to make sure I put it in this recipe. Ingredients: flour tortilla  cooked chicken corn chopped tomatoes cheddar cheese, shredded kalamata olives orange pepper ( whatever you want to add!)  black beans and corn on the side T Marzetti's Chunky Blue Cheese Dressing Frank's Red Hot Wings (Buffalo) Sauce Directions: 1. Place a little butter on a skillet on medium heat 2. Place a flour tortilla on a plate and put all of your ingredients on one side of the tortilla. 3. Fold the tortilla in half and place on the skillet. Once one side is nice and crispy, flip it over. 4. Once both sides are crispy, place your quesadilla on a plate. Place some of the blue cheese dressing and buffalo sauce on the side and get ready to dip!
