BBQ Chicken Quesadilla's with Cilantro Lime Rice

 

BBQ Chicken Quesadilla's with Cilantro Lime Rice

This was a "use up what I have" dinner. The quesadillas had Monterey Jack cheese, leftover rotisserie chicken, bbq sauce, cilantro and onions. The rice was microwaveable cilantro lime rice. Super easy and I always like using up ingredients we already have. I really should have made some veggies, but I'm exhausted and just wanted to make a quick dinner. 

The baby was already asleep when I made this, but I'm going to see if he likes the rice tomorrow! So far he hasn't been a fan of rice, but he's only tried it twice. 

Built Bar Sour Puff Pink Lemonade Squeeze Review

 

Built Bar Sour Puff Pink Lemonade Squeeze Review

I admit, the first nanosecond of the first bite was pretty good, I tasted sweet strawberry. Then it all went terribly wrong. Um, these are horrendous. Like one of the worst tasting things I've ever tasted....they taste like vomit. And the vomit flavor doesn't leave your mouth until you drink something, and even then the memory haunts you. When Casey's gas station first opened by us, I went and got a horchata latte. It was hot when it was dispensed, but I figured maybe it was like how when you order iced tea, lots of time it comes out warm and you dispense it over ice. No....it was not supposed to be hot. It was so spoiled....that was the first time I ever tasted vomit flavor from food, and this brought back canon event memories.

I'm not a picky person at all, even if I don't love something I'm okay with "fine" food. I like to just make bowls of random food and eat the mixture when I don't want to cook, my husband says it's weird but I'm fine with it. But this is so so so so gross. I had my parents try it, and they thought it was awful too. My son wants to prank his friends with it. 

I love Built Bars and at least this was a freebie, I'd be so disappointed if I actually paid for this.

This was okay. I mean it wasn't bad but it was just kinda generic tasting. My son didn't even like it, but I feel like he didn't give it much of a chance. I think next time I'd add some chili crisp or something. The cilantro wasn't part of it but I had some already chopped up. I should of actually put it in the rice so it was a cilantro like rice instead of just lime rice. It wouldn't be one that I'd get again but it was fine.

I really liked these, the smokey mustard was really good and caramelized onions are one of my favs. It really could of used some type of cheese though, I didn't even think to put any on since it didn't call for it. I was on auto pilot cooking dinner lol. Fries were good too. My son said this was the best burger he ever had which was surprising since he's had In in Out Burger before :P

The rice wasn't included, it was just some boxed rice pilaf just to stretch the meal. This was pretty good. Everyone liked the brussel sprouts which surprised me! I really like them, but normally my husband doesn't. The chicken was surprisingly bland. I thought I seasoned it enough, I even added garlic and paprika along with the salt & pepper, but I guess I didn't do enough. But with the dijon it helped a lot.

The baby had small pieces of chicken and brussel sprouts, a bit of a chicken + butternut squash puree, and some buttered toast. He really only liked the puree, and he always loves toast.

This was delicious and easy! I did do 2 small changes to the recipe though. Instead of cooking the zucchini in batches on the skillet, I just roasted it in the oven at 400 for 10 minutes so I could cook the other stuff while that cooked so it would be quicker. Also with the lemony couscous I added pepper and grated parmesan and that really elevated it. We all loved it, and normally I'm not a huge pork person.

This was super good but you can't even taste the pepperoni for some reason lol. It just tastes like delicious garlic bread. I'd definitely make it again except I'd just leave out the pepperoni next time to see if it really did make a difference. I used the oven baking method and got 2 loaves out of it. So far we've just eaten it with butter, and made toast....but I bet it would be amazing as a grilled cheese!
