Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 large pieces flour tortillas
- 2 cups cooked chicken breast
- 0.5 cups barbecue sauce
- 1 cup shredded mozzarella cheese
- 1 cup shredded cheddar cheese
- 0.5 cup red onion
- 0.25 cups fresh cilantro
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 0.5 cups sour cream
- 0.5 cups guacamole (optional)
Instructions
Shred the cooked chicken breast and place it in a medium-sized bowl.
Add barbecue sauce to the shredded chicken and mix thoroughly until the chicken is fully coated.
Finely slice the red onion and chop the fresh cilantro. Set aside.
Heat a large skillet over medium heat and brush it with a thin layer of olive oil.
Place one flour tortilla in the skillet and sprinkle a thin, even layer of mozzarella and cheddar cheese over one half of the tortilla.
Add a layer of BBQ chicken on top of the cheese, followed by red onion slices and a sprinkle of chopped cilantro.
Fold the tortilla in half to enclose the filling and press down gently with a spatula.
Cook for 2-3 minutes on each side, or until the tortilla is golden brown and crispy and the cheese is melted.
Repeat with the remaining tortillas and filling ingredients.
Slice each quesadilla into wedges and serve warm with sour cream and guacamole on the side (if desired).
