Ingredients

Scale

Ingredients

  • 4 burrito size tortillas
  • 2 cups diced grilled chicken
  • 2 cups shredded cheese (cheddar or Mexican blend preferred)
  • 1/3 cup Taco Bell quesadilla sauce (can substitute with a creamy spicy sauce)

Instructions

  1. Preheat Skillet: Heat a large cast iron skillet over medium heat until hot enough to cook the quesadillas evenly without burning.
  2. Assemble Quesadillas: Lay out the tortillas and evenly divide the diced grilled chicken, shredded cheese, and quesadilla sauce on one half of each tortilla. This layering helps ensure every bite is flavorful.
  3. Fold Tortillas: Carefully fold each tortilla in half over the filling to create a half-moon shape, pressing gently to secure the ingredients inside.
  4. Cook Quesadillas: Place one quesadilla at a time onto the heated skillet. Cook for 3-4 minutes on each side or until the tortilla turns golden brown and crispy, and the cheese inside is fully melted.
  5. Slice and Serve: Remove quesadillas from the skillet and slice each one into 4 equal triangles. Serve immediately with extra quesadilla sauce on the side for dipping.

Notes

  • Use a cast iron skillet for best heat distribution and crispiness.
  • Substitute chicken with steak or veggies for variation.
  • If you want extra crispiness, spray the skillet lightly with cooking oil before cooking.
  • Leftover quesadillas reheat well in a skillet or air fryer.
  • Adjust the amount of queso sauce based on spice preference.
