1
Prepare the Chicken
Season the grilled chicken breast with salt and black pepper. If using raw chicken, grill or cook it in a skillet with olive oil until fully cooked, then shred it.
2
Assemble the Quesadilla
On one half of each tortilla, layer shredded chicken, a generous amount of cheese, and a spoonful of salsa. Fold the tortilla over to create a half-moon shape.
3
Cook the Quesadilla
Heat a skillet over medium heat and add a bit of olive oil. Place the folded quesadilla in the skillet and cook for about 3-4 minutes on each side, until the tortilla is golden and crispy and the cheese is melted.
4
Serve
Remove the quesadilla from the skillet, cut it into wedges, and serve it with additional salsa and sour cream on the side.
