Description
Deliciously quick Chicken Quesadillas filled with seasoned chicken and cheese, ready in just minutes!
Ingredients
- Cooked Chicken: Shredded and seasoned chicken provides the protein base for your quesadillas.
- Flour Tortillas: Soft flour tortillas are perfect for wrapping around the filling and becoming crispy when cooked.
- Shredded Cheese: Go for a blend of Monterey Jack and Cheddar for the ultimate cheesiness.
- Bell Peppers: Optional, but diced bell peppers add a nice crunch and sweetness.
- Onions: Caramelized onions can elevate the flavor profile of your quesadilla.
Instructions
- Start by heating a non-stick skillet over medium heat. Add a little oil or butter to coat the bottom.
- Place a flour tortilla in the skillet and sprinkle half of the tortilla with shredded cheese.
- Evenly distribute the shredded chicken, bell peppers, and onions over the cheese.
- Top with additional cheese, then fold the tortilla over to create a half-moon shape.
- Cook for 3-4 minutes or until the bottom is golden brown and the cheese is starting to melt.
- Carefully flip the quesadilla and cook the other side until crispy and golden brown, about another 2-3 minutes.
- Remove from the skillet, slice into wedges, and serve hot!
Notes
- Use leftover chicken for quicker prep.
- Don’t overstuff to avoid spills while cooking.
