Quesadilla Ingredients

Method

Cooking Directions

  1. 1

    Prepare the Filling

    In a bowl, combine the shredded chicken, shredded cheese, salt, and pepper. Mix well.

  2. 2

    Assemble the Quesadilla

    Lay one tortilla flat on a clean surface. Spread half of the chicken and cheese mixture evenly over one half of the tortilla. Fold the other half over to create a half-moon shape.

  3. 3

    Cook the Quesadilla

    Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Once hot, place the folded quesadilla in the skillet. Cook for 3-4 minutes on one side until golden brown, then flip and cook for another 3-4 minutes on the other side until the cheese is melted.

  4. 4

    Repeat for the Second Quesadilla

    Remove the cooked quesadilla from the skillet and repeat the assembly and cooking process with the second tortilla and remaining filling.

  5. 5

    Serve

    Cut the quesadillas into wedges and serve hot with guacamole, sour cream, lettuce, and diced tomatoes on the side.
