Chicken quesadillas are a delicious and easy-to-prepare meal that can be enjoyed anytime. The savory flavor of cooked chicken combined with melted cheese and crispy tortillas creates an irresistible snack or light dinner option. Here’s a simple recipe to create these mouthwatering treats:
Ingredients:
– 2 boneless, skinless chicken breasts, cooked and shredded
– 1 tablespoon olive oil
– 1 onion, chopped
– 1 bell pepper, chopped
– 1 teaspoon garlic powder
– 1 teaspoon cumin
– Salt and pepper to taste
– 8 flour tortillas (6 inches in diameter)
– 2 cups shredded cheese (cheddar or Mexican blend)
Instructions:
1. Preheat a large skillet over medium heat with the olive oil. Add the chopped onion and bell pepper, cooking until softened, about 5 minutes.
2. Add the cooked chicken to the skillet along with the garlic powder, cumin, salt, and pepper. Stir to combine and cook for another 3-4 minutes or until heated through.
3. Place one flour tortilla in the skillet. Sprinkle 1/4 cup of shredded cheese over half of the tortilla. Top with 1/4 of the chicken mixture. Fold the other half of the tortilla over to create a half-moon shape. Cook for about 2 minutes per side or until the tortilla is golden brown and crispy, and the cheese has melted.
4. Remove the quesadilla from the skillet and place it on a cutting board. Cut into 3 or 4 triangles before serving with salsa, sour cream, or guacamole. Repeat steps 3-4 to make the remaining quesadillas. Enjoy!
Tips:
– You can use any type of cooked chicken in this recipe, such as leftover rotisserie chicken or grilled chicken breasts.
– For a spicy twist, add some diced jalapeños or hot sauce to the chicken mixture.
– If you want to make this meal healthier, use whole wheat tortillas and low-fat cheese instead of flour tortillas and regular cheese.
