1
Prepare the Ingredients
Shred the cooked chicken breast into bite-sized pieces. Finely chop the jalapenos and onion.
2
Mix the Seasoning
In a bowl, combine the shredded chicken, chopped jalapenos, chopped onion, salt, black pepper, and cumin. Mix well to ensure the seasoning is evenly distributed.

3
Heat the Pan
In a large skillet, heat the olive oil over medium heat.
4
Cook the Quesadillas
Place one tortilla in the heated skillet. On half of the tortilla, add a portion of the chicken mixture and top it with cheddar cheese. Fold the tortilla over to cover the filling. Cook for about 3-4 minutes until the bottom is golden brown and the cheese begins to melt.
5
Flip and Finish
Carefully flip the quesadilla using a spatula and cook for another 3-4 minutes on the other side. Once both sides are golden brown and the cheese is melted, remove from the skillet.
6
Repeat
Repeat the process for the remaining tortillas and filling.

7
Slice and Serve
Cut the quesadillas into wedges and serve hot, optionally with salsa or guacamole on the side.
