Quesadilla Ingredients

Method

Cooking Directions

  1. 1

    Prepare the Chicken Tinga

    In a skillet, heat olive oil over medium heat. Add the shredded cooked chicken, chipotle in adobo sauce, salt, and black pepper. Stir to combine and cook for about 5-7 minutes until heated through.

  2. 2

    Assemble the Quesadilla

    On one half of each tortilla, layer the chicken tinga mixture, followed by the shredded cheddar and Monterey Jack cheeses. Fold the tortilla over to create a half-moon shape.

  3. 3

    Cook the Quesadilla

    In a clean skillet, heat a little olive oil over medium heat. Place the folded quesadilla in the skillet and cook for about 3-4 minutes on each side, or until golden brown and the cheese has melted.

  4. 4

    Serve

    Remove the quesadilla from the skillet and let it cool for a minute before cutting into wedges. Serve with pico de gallo and sour cream on the side.
