This month's meal-in-a-jar is a Mexican food staple.  Why settle for ordinary cheese quesadillas when you can have these gourmet ones ready in just a few minutes!?  This recipe will make 4-6 half-sized quesadillas or 2-3 full-sized ones, depending on how full you stuff them.

 

To make jar: Add ingredients to jar in order listed for a prettier jar, add ingredients in reverse order if you want to do heaping servings.

 

To prepare:  Pour contents of jar into a 4 cup measuring cup.  Add 2 cups of water and let stand for 15 minutes until chicken is refreshed all the way, stirring if necessary.  Drain off any excess water.  Scoop mixture into 10-inch soft tortillas and either fold in half or cover with an additional tortilla.  Cook on a greased skillet for 3 minutes on each side or until golden brown.  Let stand for 5 minutes after cooking to thicken up.

Add these items to your monthly delivery and you should be able to make 10-11 jars worth of meals this month.  Sometimes the product settles and you won't get a full 12 cups out of a #10 can or certain ingredients have a few less servings. I'd rather have you plan to have some extras than be sad about not having enough!
