Quesadilla Ingredients

Method

Cooking Directions

  1. 1

    Caramelize the Onion

    In a skillet, heat olive oil over medium heat. Add sliced onion and cook until golden brown, stirring occasionally, about 15-20 minutes.

  2. 2

    Prepare the Chicken

    While the onions are caramelizing, shred the rotisserie chicken into bite-sized pieces.

  3. 3

    Assemble the Quesadilla

    On one half of each tortilla, layer shredded chicken, caramelized onions, and cheddar cheese. Fold the tortilla in half.

  4. 4

    Cook the Quesadilla

    In the same skillet, cook the quesadilla over medium heat for about 3-4 minutes on each side, or until the tortilla is golden brown and the cheese is melted.

  5. 5

    Serve

    Cut the quesadilla into wedges and serve warm, optionally with fries or rice on the side.
