Preparation Steps

  1. 1

    Prepare the Filling

    In a bowl, mix the shredded chicken with salt and black pepper. Set aside.

  2. 2

    Assemble the Quesadilla

    Place a flour tortilla on a flat surface. Spread a portion of the chicken mixture on half of the tortilla, top it with mozzarella cheese, and fold the tortilla over to cover the filling.

  3. 3

    Cook the Quesadilla

    Heat 1 tablespoon of olive oil in a skillet over medium heat. Place the folded quesadilla in the skillet and cook for about 3-4 minutes on each side until golden brown and the cheese is melted. Repeat this for the remaining tortillas.

  4. 4

    Serve

    Cut the quesadillas into wedges and serve with tortilla chips, sour cream, and salsa on the side.
