Chicken Quesadillas and Side Salad

I like to give credit where credit is due and I first found the shredded taco chicken recipe on pinterest, the link to the blog is http://www.mychocolatetherapy.com/2012/01/crockpot-chicken-tacos.html

2 whole wheat soft taco shells
about 2 oz of shredded taco chicken
1/3 cup shredded reduced fat mexican cheese
2 cups lettuce
4 kalamata olives, diced

I used a quesadilla maker, but you could also cook your quesadilla using a frying pan or george forman grill. Place chicken and cheese in between taco shells and heat until the cheese is melted. Cut into wedges and enjoy.  Combine lettuce and olives (and other vegetables if desired) to make side salad.

Mix together and enjoy.
