Ingredients
- 4 large flour tortillas
- 2 cups of shredded cooked chicken
- 1 cup of shredded cheddar cheese
- 1 cup of shredded Monterey Jack cheese
- 1/2 cup of diced tomatoes
- 1/4 cup of diced red onion
- 1/4 cup of chopped fresh cilantro
- 1 teaspoon of ground cumin
- 1 teaspoon of chili powder
- 1/2 teaspoon of garlic powder
- 1/2 teaspoon of salt

Instructions
- In a large bowl, mix together 2 cups of shredded cooked chicken, 1 cup of shredded cheddar cheese, 1 cup of shredded Monterey Jack cheese, 1/2 cup of diced tomatoes, 1/4 cup of diced red onion, 1/4 cup of chopped fresh cilantro, 1 teaspoon of ground cumin, 1 teaspoon of chili powder, 1/2 teaspoon of garlic powder, 1/2 teaspoon of salt, and 1/4 teaspoon of black pepper.
- Lay out 2 large flour tortillas and divide the chicken and cheese mixture evenly between them, spreading it out to cover the entire surface of the tortillas. Place the remaining 2 tortillas on top to form 2 giant quesadillas.
- In a large skillet, heat 1 tablespoon of vegetable oil over medium heat. Carefully transfer one of the giant quesadillas to the skillet and cook for 3-4 minutes on each side, or until the tortilla is golden brown and the cheese is melted. Repeat with the remaining quesadilla, adding another tablespoon of oil to the skillet if needed.
- Remove the giant quesadillas from the skillet and let them cool for a few minutes before slicing into wedges. Serve with your favorite toppings such as sour cream, guacamole, and salsa. Enjoy!
