Ingredients

Scale

Jalapeño Sauce:

  • 1/2 cup (125 ml) mayonnaise
  • 1/2 cup (125 ml) sour cream
  • 3 tbsp (45 ml) pickled jalapeno juice (from the pickled jalapenos)
  • 3 tbsp (15 g) pickled jalapenos (minced)
  • 1 clove garlic (or 1 tsp garlic powder)
  • 2 tsp cumin
  • 2 tsp smoked paprika
  • 1/2 tsp cayenne powder
  • Salt and pepper (to taste)

Chicken Quesadillas:

  • 8 medium flour tortillas
  • 4 cups (800 g) shredded rotisserie chicken*
  • 4 cups (460 g) shredded cheese blend (Monterey Jack, American Cheese, and Mozzarella recommended)

Instructions

  1. Make the jalapeño sauce. Add the mayonnaise, sour cream, pickled jalapeño juice, pickled jalapeños, garlic, cumin, paprika, cayenne, salt, and pepper to a small bowl and mix until fully combined. Taste and adjust seasonings if desired.
  2. Prepare the chicken. If using rotisserie or plain leftover chicken, shred the chicken using two forks or your hands. Add the shredded chicken and part or all of the jalapeño sauce to a medium bowl and mix until combined and creamy. You can use the remaining sauce for dipping, if desired.
  3. Assemble the Chicken Quesadillas. In a skillet over medium heat, add a tortilla, top with cheese, chicken, more cheese, and another tortilla. Cook until the bottom tortilla is golden (about 1 minute), then flip and cook until golden again (about 30-60 seconds). Repeat with remaining tortillas. Slice each prepared quesadilla into wedges (if desired) and serve immediately. Enjoy!
