Ingredients
Ingredients
- 1 Flour Tortilla
- 2 ounces Grilled chicken (cooked and diced)
- 2 ounces Cheddar Cheese (shredded)
- 2 teaspoons Butter
Instructions
- Heat the Butter: Put half of the butter in a pan and heat on medium-high until it begins to melt, preparing the skillet for the tortilla.
- Add Tortilla and Fill: Place the flour tortilla in the pan. On one half of the tortilla, sprinkle the shredded cheddar cheese and diced grilled chicken evenly.
- Cook and Melt Cheese: Allow the cheese to begin melting as the tortilla cooks on the pan. Monitor closely to avoid burning.
- Fold and Press: Once the cheese starts melting, fold the empty half of the tortilla over the filled side. Press down gently to seal and help the cheese melt completely.
- Final Cook: Continue cooking until the cheese is fully melted and the tortilla is golden brown and crisp on both sides.
- Serve: Remove from pan, cut into wedges, and serve immediately for a warm, cheesy chicken quesadilla.
Notes
- Use medium heat to avoid burning the tortilla before the cheese melts.
- You can add optional ingredients like diced onions, bell peppers, or jalapeños for extra flavor.
- Serve with salsa, sour cream, or guacamole for a complete meal.
- Leftover quesadillas can be reheated in a skillet or microwave but might lose crispiness.
