Chicken Quesadillas - Crock Pot - Sort of

Okay, previously I left a little blip about quesadillas and how everyone probably didn't need instruction, but due to some half requests and curiosities, I'm going to send a little more explanation. This recipe is part Crock Pot!

Chicken Quesadillas (Makes five thoroughly chicken filled, circular quesadillas)

1.5 lbs of chicken (two chicken breasts)
4 Tbsp taco seasoning
4 green chilis (Anaheim peppers), chopped into large pieces
3 jalapenos, chopped (optional)
1/2 of an onion, chopped (optional)
Cheese (whatever kind you like - we go with cheddar or pepperjack usually)
Favorite quesadilla toppings (sour cream, guacamole, etc.)

Directions:

1. Cover the bottom of your crock pot with a thin layer of water (should barely cover the bottom). Place chicken into crock pot. (Add a little more if you do more than 1.5 of chicken.)

2. Cover chicken with 4 Tbsp of taco seasoning and turn the crock pot on to low. Cook for six hours. If you want to go longer, add about a tablespoon or two of water to make sure it doesn't dry out while your gone.

3. Cook up green chilis and onions to soften them.

4. Shred chicken (this should be VERY easy).

5. Place tortilla onto warm skillet, layer with cheese, green chilis, jalapenos, onions, and chicken. Let it warm until the bottom layer of cheese melts and the tortilla is browning.

6. Sprinkle a small amount of cheese on top of chicken. Place second tortilla on top. Flip and cook until the tortillas begins to develop brown spots.

7. Remove, cover with salsa, sour cream, or whatever other toppings you enjoy.
