Cheesy Chicken Quesadillas
Ingredients
Instructions
-
If using, sauté any vegetables (like onions and bell peppers) in a small pan until they are soft. Set aside.
-
In a bowl, mix the shredded chicken with the cooked vegetables (if used) and half of the cheese.
-
Lay the tortilla flat on a clean surface. Spread the chicken and cheese mixture on one half of the tortilla.
-
Sprinkle the remaining cheese over the top.
-
Fold the other half of the tortilla over the filling to form a semi-circle.
-
Heat a small amount of olive oil or butter in a pan over medium heat. Place the folded tortilla in the pan.
-
Cook for about 3-5 minutes on each side, or until the tortilla is golden brown and the cheese is melted.
-
Remove the quesadilla from the pan and let it sit for a minute before cutting into wedges.
-
Serve with sour cream, salsa, or guacamole on the side.
Note
- For a healthier version, use whole wheat tortillas and low-fat cheese.
- Add-ins like bell peppers, onions, or mushrooms can enhance flavor and nutrition.
