I've mentioned in previous posts that Mondays around here are referred to as Mexican Monday. I always plan a Mexican themed dish on Monday nights because my husband could each tacos three times a week. Last week we decided that chicken and chorizo quesadillas would be on the menu. These were a very fast weeknight supper. I already had some cooked, shredded chicken in the refrigerator, so all I had to cook was the chorizo. I layered cheese, chorizo, and chicken in flour tortillas, and then I put them in the oven at 350F to bake while I cut olives, tomatoes, lettuce, and avocado to top the quesadillas. I had never baked quesadillas before, but I will start doing this from now on because it's much easier to get all the other side dishes or accompaniments together. I keep cooked black beans and refried beans in the freezer, so I pulled them out and stuck them in the microwave for a quick side dish. I also made two extra quesadillas for lunch the next day, and I found out that the flavor of the chorizo was much better when we had these for lunch. I will start making the quesadillas ahead and just reheat them for supper, which will make an even quicker supper.
