Quesadilla

Method

Preparation

  1. 1

    Prepare the Filling

    In a large bowl, combine the shredded chicken, Mexican 3 cheese mix, Queso Oaxaca, and chopped cilantro. Mix until well combined.

    Assemble the Quesadilla

    Place a tortilla in a skillet over medium heat. Spread an even layer of the chicken and cheese mixture on one half of the tortilla. Fold the other half over the filling.

  3. 3

    Cook the Quesadilla

    Add 1 tablespoon of olive oil to the skillet. Cook the quesadilla for about 3-4 minutes on each side or until golden brown and the cheese is melted. Repeat with the remaining tortillas and filling.

  4. 4

    Serve

    Cut the quesadillas into wedges and serve with a side of Mexican rice, beans, and sour cream.
