   So last night Tuscaloosa was under a little bit of a freeze warning (though of course nothing happened).  Instead of going to Chili's, we ordered dominos for delivery.  Therefore, I think tonight is going to be Chili's night.
    The recipe for today is BBQ Chicken "Quesadillas."  They are more like burritos or wraps but it's another of Walt's favorite.  This recipe comes from my mom and is often a quick dinner or a picnic at Shakespeare in the park.  One of the best parts about this recipe is you don't need many ingredients or much time!

Money Savers!
     Barbecue sauce- Bull's Eye BBQ Sauce BOGO at Publix ($1.09)    
     Kraft Cheese- 2/$2.75 at Publix (and I think Target and Walmart still!)  ($1.37 each!)
        They are on sale for 2/$4.  Most Publix take Target as a competitor.  If you go to Target's website and at the bottom click coupons, you can print a coupon for $1.25/2 Kraft cheese.
     
Ingredients:

6 flour tortillas (rule of thumb, one chicken breast makes about 2 using larger tortillas)
3 Chicken breasts
BBQ sauce (probably about 3/4 of a bottle)
Cheddar cheese
red onion or chopped tomatoes (if desired)

Instructions:
1.  Boil the chicken on the stove until cooked (probably about 15-20 minutes depending on the size of the chicken)
2.  When the chicken has cooled, pull the chicken to shred it and place in medium/large bowl.
3.  Preheat the oven to 350 F.
4.  Add the BBQ sauce to the chicken and stir until coated.
5.  Add the onion or tomatoes if you want. (We aren't too big on tomatoes and onion but my parent like it.  I think you could use the white onion or sweet onion but I think the red works best.  If some wants the onion or tomato and others don't, just add it when you are filling the tortilla.)
6.  Fill the tortilla with the chicken mixture.  Sprinkle the cheese on top and close the tortilla.  Place it seam down on a baking sheet.
7.  Just throw them in the oven for about 5-10 minutes (just enough to let it get brown and melt the cheese).

This is a great recipe to throw together in about 30 minutes!  It goes great with chips and salsa or chips and dip!
