Ingredients
Scale
Chicken Mixture
- 2 cups shredded chicken
- 1 1/2 cups BBQ sauce
Quesadillas
- 6 tortillas (8 inch)
- 2 cups cheddar cheese
Instructions
- Combine Chicken and BBQ Sauce: In a large medium bowl, mix the shredded chicken and BBQ sauce until the chicken is evenly coated.
- Heat Tortilla: Place one tortilla in a clean skillet on low to medium heat and warm one side until heated through but not crispy.
- Add Cheese and Chicken: Sprinkle cheese over half of the tortilla, then add a generous layer of the BBQ chicken mixture on top. Add more cheese over the chicken to help it bind.
- Fold and Cook: Fold the tortilla in half over the filling. Flip the quesadilla and cook until the second side is browned and the cheese is melted, forming some delicious brown spots. Repeat this process with all remaining tortillas and filling.
- Serve: Serve the quesadillas immediately while warm and gooey for the best flavor and texture.
Notes
- Ensure the skillet is clean and at medium heat to avoid burning the tortillas.
- You can substitute cheddar with Monterey Jack or a Mexican cheese blend for different flavors.
- Leftover quesadillas can be reheated in a skillet or oven to maintain crispiness.
- For extra flavor, add sliced jalapeños or a drizzle of sour cream when serving.
