A fun, quick Halloween meal idea

This is the first year my school has done fall break and let me tell you, I LOVE IT! It's so nice to be able to slow down, catch up, and have some time for fun! Bug and I took a trip to the museum, the pumpkin patch, rode around the yard on the quad (well I was doing yard work but it was fun all the same), and a ride on the rzr in the rain! We've been really trying to get the most out of this week off. 

Anyway, on to food. Being as I am on break, I have had more time to get creative for dinner (generally we live out of our crockpot). So this is how the jack-o-dilla was born. Easy-peasy and yummy for my hubby and my two year old. 
While I usually have the costco tortillas that you throw on the stove to cook up (my favorite), we were out so regular tortillas did the job. I threw in cheese (mexican blend for us but I know any cheese will do, go with what your heart tells you) and chicken- side bar, I pre-make my shredded chicken in the crockpot ---> check it http://www.yourhomebasedmom.com/slow-cooker-shredded-chicken/ <--- best idea ever- and my husband, who loves canned seasonings (not my jam), threw some Garlic Sriracha on his (and loved it).
Another favorite of mine from costco would be these sweet nuggets of guacamole gold. Bug will literally eat these with a spoon. Delicious with tortillas and hilarious as barf (see photo above). 


That's it! Quick, easy, delicious and fun. And makes your husband and kid giggle.
