Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 cup Chicken breast, cooked and shredded
- 1.5 cups Shredded cheddar cheese
- 4 pieces Flour tortillas
- 1 piece Jalapeno, thinly sliced
- 2 tablespoons Cilantro, chopped
- 2 tablespoons Butter, melted
- 0.5 cup Sour cream
- 0.5 cup Salsa
Instructions
Preheat the Nuwave Oven Flavorwave by setting it to the highest temperature setting for 3-4 minutes.
Brush one side of each flour tortilla with melted butter. This will help achieve a crispy texture.
Place two flour tortillas (butter side down) on a clean surface. Divide the shredded chicken evenly between them.
Sprinkle the shredded cheddar cheese over the chicken on each tortilla.
Distribute the thinly sliced jalapenos and chopped cilantro evenly over the cheese layer.
Top each with the remaining tortillas (butter side up) to form the quesadillas.
Place the quesadillas on the rack of the preheated Nuwave Oven Flavorwave. Ensure they are spread out evenly for proper air circulation and browning.
Cook the quesadillas at 400°F for 5-6 minutes, then carefully flip them using tongs and cook for an additional 5-6 minutes until both sides are golden and crispy.
Remove the quesadillas from the oven and let them cool for 2 minutes before slicing into quarters.
Serve hot with sour cream and salsa on the side for dipping.
