Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 cups (shredded) Cooked chicken breast
- 1 cup (sliced) Button mushrooms
- 2 teaspoons Taco seasoning
- 1 tablespoon Olive oil
- 4 large Flour tortillas
- 2 cups Shredded cheddar cheese
- 2 tablespoons Butter
- 0.5 cup (for serving) Sour cream
- 0.5 cup (for serving) Salsa
- 2 tablespoons (chopped) Fresh cilantro (optional)
Instructions
Heat a large skillet over medium heat and add the olive oil.
Add the sliced mushrooms to the skillet and sauté for 5-7 minutes, until they are golden and tender. Remove the mushrooms from the skillet and set aside.
In a medium bowl, combine the shredded cooked chicken with taco seasoning. Mix well to coat the chicken evenly.
Place a large flour tortilla on a clean surface or plate. Sprinkle 1/2 cup of shredded cheddar cheese over half of the tortilla.
Add an even layer of the seasoned chicken and sautéed mushrooms on top of the cheese. Sprinkle an additional 1/2 cup of cheese over the filling.
Fold the other half of the tortilla over the filling to form a semi-circle shape.
Heat a clean skillet over medium heat and melt 1/2 tablespoon of butter. Place the folded quesadilla into the skillet and cook for 2-3 minutes, until the underside is golden brown and crispy.
Carefully flip the quesadilla using a spatula, adding another 1/2 tablespoon of butter to the skillet, and cook the other side for another 2-3 minutes until crispy and the cheese is fully melted.
Remove the quesadilla from the skillet and let it cool for a minute before slicing into wedges. Repeat with the remaining tortillas and filling.
Serve warm with sour cream, salsa, and chopped fresh cilantro on the side for garnish.
