Ingredients Method

Ingredients
  

  • 4 large flour tortillas
  • 2 cups cooked Chipotle copycat chicken finely chopped
  • 2 cups shredded Monterey Jack or cheddar cheese
  • 1 tsp olive oil or cooking spray
  • 1 cup fresh tomato salsa for serving
  • ½ cup guacamole
  • Lime wedges optional

Method
 

  1. Warm the chopped chicken briefly so it does not slow the melting of the cheese during cooking.
  2. Place each tortilla on a flat surface and sprinkle a layer of cheese over one half.
  3. Distribute the chicken over the cheese, add a small second layer of cheese, and fold the tortilla closed.
  4. Heat a lightly greased skillet over medium heat and place one folded quesadilla inside.
  5. Cook for 2 to 3 minutes per side until the tortilla is golden and the cheese has melted completely.
  6. Rest for 1 minute, cut into wedges, and serve with tomato salsa, guacamole, or fresh lime.
