Chicken Quesadilla
Chicken quesadillas are an easy and versatile dish.
This recipe can be paired with salsa or guacamole. Grilled veggies can be added to make it a fajita quesadilla.
For a dairy-free option, the cheese can be subsitute with refried beans to include something to keep the tortilla together.
Ingredients
- Leftover Grilled Chicken
- Flour Tortillas
- Mozzarella Cheese
- Cheddar Cheese
Directions
- On a microwave-safe plate, lay down the tortilla and add the mozzarella and cheddar cheeses.
- Microwave on high for 30 seconds to warm up the tortilla and melt the cheeses.
- Heat a pan on medium heat and add the tortilla with melted cheese. Shred the leftover chicken and add to one side of the tortilla.
- Once there is slight browning to the tortilla on the bottom, roll the tortilla in half to make the classic quesadilla shape.
- Cook on each side to get good browning and crispy-ness.
- Remove the quesadilla from the pan and place on a cutting board. Slice the quesadilla into 3-4 pieces.
- Serve with salsa and/or guacamole!
Tips
