Wallydocking Quesadillas

One of our go-to dinners when we're on the road is a simple, quick, and relatively healthy meal that is Rosie-approved! We call it Wallydocking Quesadillas since boondocking at Walmart is usually when we make it!

Here's your Walmart shopping list:

• a rotisserie chicken
• package of whole wheat burritos
• jar of salsa
• can of of black beans
• Monterrey Jack cheese

You can of course dress this up with other ingredients--black olives, jalapenos, hot sauce, and of course sour cream would be yummy--this is just the basic version.  And if you'll be boondocking at multiple Walmarts along the way,  have quesadillas the first night and taco salads the next night (which will use up the extra beans, salsa, and cheese)--just change it up a bit with bagged lettuce, cherry tomatoes, and corn chips.

Still have leftover ingredients?  Add eggs to your Walmart shopping list, and make breakfast burritos the next morning with scrambled eggs, leftover salsa, cheese, and anything else you have in your fridge--like baby spinach, cherry tomatoes...

I usually warm up a non-stick frying pan on the stove while Tom takes the chicken off the bone. Rosie supervises the chicken de-boning process with laser-like focus.

Place a burrito in the warm pan, spread a thin layer of black beans (mash them with a fork so the'll warm up quickly), followed by salsa, then add the shredded chicken,  grate a little cheese, and top it off with another burrito.  When the quesadilla starts to brown on the bottom, flip it to the other side for a few more minutes.  Cut into wedges and serve.

Rosie is always very happy to score any leftover chicken, but if you're traveling with a furry friend be safe and dispose of the bones in a Walmart garbage can right after dinner.

Rosie says 'bone appetit!'
