Method

Preparation

  1. 1

    Prepare the Ingredients

    Gather all the ingredients. If using grilled chili, slice it into thin strips. If using chicken, ensure it is cooked and shredded.

Cooking

  1. 2

    Heat the Skillet

    Preheat a non-stick skillet over medium heat.

  2. 3

    Assemble the Quesadilla

    Place one flour tortilla on the skillet. Sprinkle half of the shredded cheese evenly over the tortilla. If using, add the grilled chili and/or shredded chicken on top of the cheese. Sprinkle the remaining cheese over the toppings.

  3. 4

    Cook the Quesadilla

    Place the second tortilla on top. Cook for 3-4 minutes until the bottom tortilla is golden brown and the cheese starts to melt. Carefully flip the quesadilla using a spatula and cook for another 2-3 minutes on the other side.

  4. 5

    Serve

    Once both sides are golden and the cheese is melted, remove the quesadilla from the skillet. Let it cool for a minute, then cut it into wedges and serve warm.
