Instructions

1

Prepare the Filling

Season the shredded chicken lightly with salt and stir to combine. Heat a large skillet or griddle over medium heat and brush lightly with olive oil. Lay one flour tortilla flat in the pan.

2

Assemble and Cook

Sprinkle a quarter of the shredded cheese evenly over one half of the tortilla, then top the cheese with a quarter of the shredded chicken. Fold the empty half of the tortilla over the filling to create a half moon shape. Cook for 2 to 3 minutes until the bottom is golden and crispy.

3

Flip and Finish

Carefully flip the quesadilla and cook for another 2 minutes until the second side is golden and the cheese is fully melted. Transfer to a cutting board and let rest for 1 minute before slicing into wedges with a sharp knife or pizza cutter. Repeat with remaining tortillas.

Substitutions

flour tortillascorn tortillas for a gluten-free option, though they are smaller so you will need more of them
Mexican blend cheeseMonterey Jack or cheddar cheese both melt beautifully and work perfectly in this recipe

Common mistakes

Overfilling the quesadilla with too much chicken and cheese, which makes it impossible to flip cleanly without the filling spilling out
Cooking on too high heat which browns the outside too quickly before the cheese has had time to melt completely
