Ingredients
Scale
Quesadilla Filling
- 2 cups cooked shredded chicken
- 1/2 cup barbecue sauce
- 2 cups shredded cheddar cheese
- 1/4 cup chopped green onions (optional)
Quesadillas & Cooking
- 4 large flour tortillas
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
Instructions
- Prepare the Chicken Mixture: In a medium bowl, combine the cooked shredded chicken with the barbecue sauce and chopped green onions (if using), mixing thoroughly to coat the chicken evenly.
- Assemble the Quesadillas: Lay out the flour tortillas. On one half of each tortilla, evenly spread a layer of the barbecue chicken mixture, then sprinkle with shredded cheddar cheese. Fold the other half of the tortilla over to cover the filling.
- Cook the Quesadillas: Heat 1 tablespoon of olive oil over medium heat in a large skillet. Place one or two quesadillas in the skillet (depending on size) and cook until the bottom is golden brown and the cheese begins to melt, about 3-4 minutes. Carefully flip and cook the other side for another 3-4 minutes until golden and cheese is fully melted. Repeat with remaining quesadillas, adding more olive oil as needed.
- Serve: Remove quesadillas from the skillet and let cool for a minute before cutting into wedges. Serve warm with your choice of dips like sour cream or salsa.
Notes
- For a spicier kick, add sliced jalapeños or a sprinkle of chili powder to the chicken mixture.
- Use a mix of cheeses such as Monterey Jack or mozzarella for a creamier texture.
- Whole wheat tortillas can be substituted for a healthier option.
- Leftover quesadillas can be reheated in a skillet or oven to maintain crispiness.
