Easy Chicken Quesadillas

January 27, 2021 Leave a Comment

Jump to Recipe - Print Recipe

When DS’s den were Webelos, one of our den members was a vegetarian. This made camp cooking a little more interesting. The other den members wanted the boy to be fully included, but they weren’t willing to give up meat themselves. So when we went camping we used “meat optional” recipes.

This was one of their favorite recipes. They all made their own quesadillas, and so our vegetarian just didn’t put chicken in his. Everyone was well fed and happy.

We just used the bag of precooked grilled chicken from the store with this one. The Webelos just had to chop it up. So this was an easy meal for them to prepare.

Chicken Quesadillas

Quesadillas are a fun meal to make with a group of kids. They can get involved in making them. And they like getting to choose their own ingredients. Great for picky eaters!
