Extra Cheesy BBQ Chicken Quesadilla
Created by: Howcan Team
Ingredients
- 2 cups of cooked, shredded chicken
- 1 cup of BBQ sauce
- 4 large flour tortillas
- 2 cups of shredded cheddar cheese
- 1 cup of shredded mozzarella cheese
- 1/2 cup of diced red onion
- 1/4 cup of chopped fresh cilantro
- 1/4 cup of sour cream (optional)
- 1/4 cup of salsa (optional)
Instructions
- In a mixing bowl, combine 2 cups of cooked, shredded chicken with 1 cup of BBQ sauce. Mix well to coat the chicken evenly.
- Place a large skillet over medium heat and lightly grease with cooking spray or oil.
- Lay a flour tortilla flat in the skillet. Sprinkle 1/2 cup of shredded cheddar cheese and 1/4 cup of shredded mozzarella cheese evenly over one half of the tortilla.
- Spread 1/2 cup of the BBQ chicken mixture over the cheese, then sprinkle with 2 tablespoons of diced red onion and 1 tablespoon of chopped fresh cilantro.
- Fold the empty half of the tortilla over the filling to create a half-moon shape. Press down gently with a spatula to help the cheese melt and hold the quesadilla together.
- Cook for 2-3 minutes on each side, or until the tortilla is golden brown and the cheese is melted.
- Repeat with the remaining tortillas and filling ingredients.
- Once all quesadillas are cooked, slice each into 3 wedges and serve with sour cream and salsa on the side, if desired.
