CHICKEN QUESADILLA

Recipe Directions

  1. In a large mixing bowl, combine the shredded chicken, shredded cheddar cheese, shredded Monterey Jack cheese, diced bell peppers, diced red onion, chopped cilantro, and salsa. Mix until well combined.
  2. Heat a large skillet or griddle over medium heat.
  3. Place one tortilla in the skillet and spread a quarter of the chicken and cheese mixture evenly over half of the tortilla.
  4. Fold the other half of the tortilla over the filling to create a half-moon shape.
  5. Cook the quesadilla for 2-3 minutes on each side, or until golden brown and crispy and the cheese is melted.
  6. Repeat with the remaining tortillas and chicken mixture.
  7. Once cooked, remove the quesadillas from the skillet and let them cool for a minute before slicing into wedges.
  8. Serve the Chicken Quesadillas warm with additional salsa, guacamole, sour cream, or your favorite toppings.
