Nothing better than cheese loaded flour tortilla am I right ?

Well today’s easy (done in less than 30 minutes or even less than 20mins dinner)

Ingredients for 3 filled tortillas :-

• 1 chicken breast
• 4 slices of roasted ham (any ham really)
• 1 red onion
• 1 bunch of scallions
• Bunch of coriander
• Grated cheese ( I used slices and just cut them up, I used Gorgonzola and some Swiss cheese
• BBQ sauce
• Large tortillas

Method :-

• Pan fry chicken and ham before hand.
• Preheat a stovetop grill over medium heat.
• Spread each tortilla with BBQ sauce and sprinkle evenly with shredded cheese. On one side of the tortilla sprinkle with sliced chicken,ham, red onion, scallions, and cilantro. Fold over each quesadilla to form a half moon shape.
