I’m eating more and more Jenny Craig foods these days. With the incredible new fall food line and having been inspired so much by the Simple Inspirations recipe contest, I can’t stop making new volumizing recipes. Below is an awesome idea, inspired by a member contest entry.
Did you ever think about turning the quesadilla into a pizza? Me either! Brilliant….
I used to make quite a few pizza dishes using the now retired Chicken Fajita dinner, so I leveraged some ideas that I’ve used in the past. Since the quesadilla already had mexican flavors, chicken and cheese, I bulked it up with my favorite fajita veggies. The end result: Amazing.
