Cooking Instructions

  1. 1

    Prepare the Filling

    In a skillet over medium heat, add olive oil and sauté the diced onion until translucent, about 3-4 minutes. Add the shredded chicken, green chiles, and diced tomato. Season with salt and black pepper. Cook for an additional 5 minutes until heated through.

  2. 2

    Assemble the Quesadillas

    Heat a separate skillet over medium heat. Place one tortilla in the skillet, and sprinkle half of the shredded cheese on top. Add half of the chicken filling, then sprinkle the remaining cheese on top. Place another tortilla on top.

  3. 3

    Cook the Quesadilla

    Cook for about 3-4 minutes until the bottom tortilla is golden brown and the cheese is melting. Carefully flip the quesadilla and cook for another 3-4 minutes on the other side.

  4. 4

    Serve

    Remove from the skillet and let cool for a minute. Cut into wedges and serve with salsa or sour cream, if desired.
