Method

Preparation

  1. 1

    Prepare the Filling

    In a mixing bowl, combine the shredded roasted chicken, mozzarella cheese, basil pesto, and tomato bruschetta. Mix well until all ingredients are evenly coated.

  2. 2

    Assemble the Quesadilla

    Lay one tortilla flat on a clean surface. Spread a portion of the filling mixture over half of the tortilla. Top with a handful of arugula, then fold the tortilla in half to cover the filling.

Cooking

  1. 3

    Cook the Quesadilla

    Preheat a skillet over medium heat. Place the folded quesadilla in the skillet and cook for about 3-4 minutes on each side, or until the tortilla is golden brown and the cheese has melted. Repeat with remaining tortillas and filling.

  2. 4

    Serve

    Once cooked, remove the quesadillas from the skillet and let cool for a minute before cutting into wedges. Serve with salsa and tzatziki on the side.
