Lazy girl, high protein dinner!

When I’m not feeling it with cooking dinner and there is no good leftovers in the fridge….this is my go to. Sheet pan quesadillas are always a hit!

In the morning I throw some chicken in the crockpot with taco seasoning and let it go most of the day. About 2/3 hours before dinner I chop up some bell peppers and red onion and throw them in there.

When it’s time for dinner I get a baking sheet and lay out burrito size tortillas to cover but let some hang off the edges to fold over. Fill your baking sheet with the chicken/peppers and add some cheese. Then put one more tortilla on top and fold over the rest to close it.

Lay another baking sheet on top while in the over so that it stays closed and gets cripsyyyyy.

I bake it at 375 for like 20-25 mins. Then top with whatever you want!!

Roughly 50 grams a protein per serving (8ish servings).

You can literally put whatever you want in there and it always turns out SO good!

If you're looking for a hassle-free dinner idea, sheet pan quesadillas are the way to go! This high-protein meal features shredded chicken cooked in a crockpot, making dinner prep a breeze. The combination of bell peppers and onions adds flavor and texture, while burrito-size tortillas keep everything nicely tucked away. Baking the quesadillas under another sheet pan ensures they get perfectly crispy and sealed. With around 50 grams of protein per serving, it's a nutritious choice for anyone wanting to hit their protein goals without spending hours in the kitchen. Don't hesitate to customize your quesadillas with your favorite vegetables or additional protein sources like black beans or corn. This flexibility means you can have a different flavor profile every time you make it, accommodating various dietary preferences. Ideal for busy families or anyone short on time, these quesadillas are not just quick to prepare; they're also incredibly satisfying. Perfect for meal prep or an easy weeknight dinner, this recipe will surely become a go-to in your kitchen repertoire. Top them off with guacamole, salsa, or your preferred condiments for even more flavor!
