Description
Chicken quesadillas with melted cheese. From Olivia at Flavors.
Ingredients
Scale
- 2 cups (280g) shredded cooked chicken
- 1 teaspoon chili powder
- 1/2 teaspoon cumin
- 4 large flour tortillas
- 2 cups (226g) shredded Monterey jack or cheddar
- 1/4 cup sliced pickled jalapeños, optional
- 1 tablespoon oil or butter
- Salsa and sour cream
Instructions
- Toss chicken with chili powder and cumin.
- Heat a skillet over medium. Warm a tortilla with a thin film of oil. Add cheese, chicken, and jalapeños on one half. Fold.
- Cook 2 to 3 minutes per side until the cheese melts and the tortilla is spotted brown. Repeat.
- Cut into wedges. Serve with salsa and sour cream.
Notes
Medium heat browns the tortilla in the time the cheese melts. High heat burns the outside first. Leftover roasted chicken is the usual filling.
