Ingredients
Scale
Filling
- 1 cup cooked chicken, shredded
- 1 cup shredded cheese (cheddar or Mexican blend)
- 1/2 cup bell pepper, diced
- 1/4 cup onion, diced
- 1 teaspoon taco seasoning
Quesadillas
- 4 small flour tortillas
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
Instructions
- Prepare the filling: In a bowl, combine the shredded chicken, shredded cheese, diced bell pepper, diced onion, and taco seasoning. Mix everything thoroughly to ensure the seasoning is evenly distributed.
- Heat the skillet: Place a skillet over medium heat and add the olive oil. Allow the oil to warm up so it can crisp the tortillas nicely when cooking.
- Assemble the quesadilla: Place one flour tortilla in the heated skillet. Spoon a portion of the chicken and cheese mixture evenly over the tortilla, then top it with another tortilla to form a sandwich.
- Cook the quesadilla: Let it cook for 2 to 3 minutes on one side until the tortilla turns golden brown and the cheese inside starts to melt. Carefully flip the quesadilla and cook the other side for another 2 to 3 minutes to achieve the same golden crispness.
- Finish and repeat: Remove the cooked quesadilla from the skillet and place it on a cutting board. Repeat the assembly and cooking process with the remaining tortillas and filling.
- Serve: Cut each quesadilla into wedges and serve warm for a delightful crispy and cheesy bite.
Notes
- Use cooked chicken for convenience; rotisserie chicken works well.
- Feel free to swap flour tortillas for whole wheat or gluten-free tortillas if preferred.
- Add jalapeños or hot sauce for a spicier version.
- Serve with salsa, sour cream, or guacamole for extra flavor.
- Cooking over medium heat prevents burning while ensuring cheese melts properly.
