Salsa Ranchera

Method

Quesadilla Preparation

  1. 1

    Prepare the Filling

    In a medium bowl, combine the cooked chicken breast, chipotle powder, salt, and black pepper. Mix well to ensure the chicken is evenly coated with the spices.

  2. 2

    Assemble the Quesadilla

    Heat 1 tablespoon of olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Place one tortilla in the skillet, then evenly spread half of the chicken mixture on one half of the tortilla. Add 1 cup of shredded cheddar cheese on top of the chicken. Fold the tortilla over to cover the filling.

  3. 3

    Cook the Quesadilla

    Cook for about 3-4 minutes on each side or until the tortilla is golden brown and the cheese is melted. Repeat the process with the remaining tortillas and filling.
