Quesadilla Ingredients

Method

Cooking Directions

  1. 1

    Prepare the Filling

    In a large bowl, combine the diced grilled chicken with mixed cheese and shredded lettuce. Mix well and set aside.

  2. 2

    Assemble the Quesadilla

    Place one flour tortilla on a clean surface. Spoon a portion of the filling onto one half of the tortilla, leaving some space at the edges. Fold the other half over to cover the filling.

  3. 3

    Grill the Quesadilla

    Heat a skillet over medium heat. Once hot, add the folded quesadilla and cook for about 3-4 minutes on each side, or until the tortilla is golden brown and the cheese is melted.

  4. 4

    Serve

    Remove the quesadilla from the skillet and let it cool for a minute. Cut into wedges and serve with crema on the side.
