    So the next day that is just what we did!  Connor was a champ chopping, and cooking the
    peppers and onions, Both he and my husband were over the moon for the Waffle Iron Chicken Quesadillas. Connor said they were way better than the one he had out at a restaurant the other prior week.

    Prep Time 10 mins
    Cook Time 5 mins
    Total Time 15 mins
    Servings 6

    Ingredients
      

    • 1 small rotisserie chicken
    • 1 green pepper seeded and chopped
    • 1 medium Vidalia onion chopped
    • 2 TBS grapeseed or olive oil divided
    • Salt & pepper
    • 12 - 6- inch diameter flour tortillas
    • 8 oz package of shredded Mexican cheese
    • Salsa

    Instructions
     

    • Pull apart your chicken, getting all of the meat off of it. Lightly shred it with your fingers. Season it and set it aside.
    • Saute the peppers and onions in 1 TBS oil for 4 minutes.  Set aside.
    • Heat your waffle iron.
    • Meanwhile, lightly coat one side of each tortilla with oil and season with salt & pepper. Once iron is ready, lay one tortilla oil side down on the griddle then spoon on some peppers & onions, then add the chicken, then add about ¼-1/3 cup of cheese. Top with another tortilla (oil side up and gently close the waffle iron putting more and more pressure in it. Hold for 30 seconds.
    • Allow it to continue cooking other 2-3 minutes or so, putting pressure on it every now and again. Once the tortilla looks done to your liking (with some brown spots, remove it with a small spatula and place it on a plate for a minute.
    • Use a sharp knife to cut it into 4 triangles right along the waffle marks.
    • Serve with salsa and repeat until full.

    Notes

    For me, 1 large green pepper, 1 medium Vidalia onion, 1 8 oz bag of shredded cheese and 1 rotisserie chicken make 6 - 6-inch quesadillas.
    I used a circular, non-stick "Belgian-style waffle iron for these.
    Don't worry if any cheese oozes out...as soon as the waffle iron cooks it, it comes right off, crispy. Just flick it with a fork.

      Those knives sound cool! And I love this idea. I wish I had a waffle iron but I'm kind of happy I don't because I'd eat nothing else! 😉
