Quesadilla Ingredients

Method

Cooking Instructions

  1. 1

    Prepare the Filling

    In a pan, heat the olive oil over medium heat. If using shredded chicken, add it to the pan and season with salt and pepper. If using ground beef, cook until browned and drained. Stir in the cooked rice and mix well. Remove from heat.

  2. 2

    Assemble the Quesadilla

    On a clean surface, lay a tortilla flat. Sprinkle cheese on one half of the tortilla, then add a layer of the chicken or beef mixture, and top with additional cheese. Fold the tortilla over to create a half-moon shape.

  3. 3

    Cook the Quesadilla

    In a non-stick skillet, cook the quesadilla over medium heat for about 3-4 minutes on each side, or until golden brown and the cheese is melted. Repeat with the remaining tortillas.

  4. 4

    Serve

    Cut the quesadillas into wedges and serve with french fries, sour cream, and salsa on the side.
