PREVIEW TEXT GOES HERE Chicken Quesadillas I love a good semi-homemade recipe, and these chicken quesadillas fit the bill perfectly. Start by seasoning the chicken with a smoky spice blend and sautéing it in olive oil—it takes just 15 minutes. While that's cooking, simmer store-bought salsa with a little water for a quick sauce. Shred the chicken, mix it with the sauce, and your filling is ready (bonus: you'll have enough to freeze for later!). Cook the quesadillas until crispy and gooey, and serve with Mexican rice. Winner, winner—the perfect back-to-school dinner! READ MORE Mexican Rice If you're a fan of homemade Mexican or Tex-Mex food, a good Mexican rice recipe is a must. Often referred to as Spanish rice or "arroz rojo," this classic dish features long-grain rice simmered in a tomato-infused broth, seasoned with onions, garlic, cumin, and chili powder — lending it that iconic reddish-orange color. While my version might not be 100% traditional, my kids swear it's just as delicious as the rice from our favorite local Mexican spot.
