Method

Preparing the Filling

  1. 1

    Shred the Chicken

    Using two forks or your hands, shred the cooked chicken breast into bite-sized pieces and place them into a mixing bowl.

  2. 2

    Season the Chicken

    Add salt and ground black pepper to the shredded chicken, mixing well to ensure even seasoning.

Assembling the Quesadilla

  1. 3

    Layer Ingredients

    On one half of each flour tortilla, layer shredded chicken, cheddar cheese, and mozzarella cheese.

  2. 4

    Fold the Tortilla

    Carefully fold the tortilla over the filling to create a half-moon shape.

Cooking the Quesadilla

  1. 5

    Heat the Pan

    In a large skillet, heat the olive oil over medium heat.

  2. 6

    Cook Quesadilla

    Place the folded quesadilla in the skillet and cook for about 3-4 minutes on each side, or until the tortillas are golden brown and the cheese is melted.

Serving

  1. 7

    Slice and Serve

    Once cooked, remove the quesadilla from the skillet and let it cool for a minute. Slice into wedges and serve with sour cream and salsa on the side.
