A delicious and cheesy Mexican dish filled with seasoned chicken and melted cheese, served with salsa and sour cream.
Serves:
Ingredients
- 2 cups cooked chicken, shredded
- 1 cup shredded cheddar cheese
- 1/4 cup diced onions
- 1/4 cup diced bell peppers
- 1/4 cup sliced black olives
- 1/4 cup diced tomatoes
- 1 teaspoon chili powder
- 1/2 teaspoon cumin
- 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
- 1/4 teaspoon black pepper
- 4 large flour tortillas
- Salsa and sour cream, for serving
Instructions
-
In a large mixing bowl, combine shredded chicken, cheddar cheese, onions, bell peppers, black olives, tomatoes, chili powder, cumin, garlic powder, salt, and black pepper. Mix well.
-
Lay a tortilla flat on a clean surface. Spread 1/4 of the chicken mixture evenly over half of the tortilla.
-
Fold the other half of the tortilla over the filling to create a half-moon shape. Press down gently.
-
Repeat with the remaining tortillas and chicken mixture.
-
Heat a non-stick skillet over medium heat. Place a quesadilla in the skillet and cook for 2-3 minutes on each side, or until the tortilla is golden brown and crispy, and the cheese inside is melted.
-
Remove from the skillet and cut into wedges.
-
Serve with salsa and sour cream.
