Chicken Quesadillas

4 Boneless Skinless chicken breasts, diced
1/2 tsp garlic powder
1/2 tsp pepper
1/2 green pepper diced
1 medium onion chopped
1 15 oz can diced tomatoes
2 cloves garlic
8 flour tortillas
2 cups monterey jack or cheddar cheese, grated

In a large skillet, cook chicken with garlic powder, and pepper until thoroughly cooked.  Remove from skillet and set aside.  Next, simmer tomatoes, green peppers, onion and garlic.  Continue simmering until liquid is evaporated.  Remove from skillet and set aside.

Using a small amount of olive oil, fry each side of tortillas in skillet, then place on a cookie sheet.  Top four tortillas with 1/4 cup cheese, 1/4 of the chicken mixture, 1/4 of the tomato mixture, topping with 1/4 cup of cheese and second tortilla.  Press gently and place in a zip loc freezer bag or wrap for the freezer.

On cooking day Preheat oven to 375.  Do NOT thaw!  Simply place the quesadillas on the cookie sheet straight from the freezer and bake for 15-20 minutes or until cheese is melted.  Cute into wedges with pizza cutter.  Serve with salsa, guacamole and sour cream.
