Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 cups (shredded) Cooked chicken breast
- 1.5 cups Dairy-free shredded cheese (cheddar-style or pepper jack)
- 4 count Large flour tortillas
- 0.25 cup Dairy-free mayonnaise
- 0.25 cup Dairy-free sour cream
- 1 tablespoon Lime juice
- 0.5 teaspoon Ground cumin
- 0.5 teaspoon Paprika
- 0.25 teaspoon Garlic powder
- 0.25 teaspoon Chili powder
- 0.25 teaspoon Salt
- 1 tablespoon Olive oil or avocado oil
Instructions
In a small mixing bowl, prepare the dairy-free quesadilla sauce by combining the dairy-free mayonnaise, dairy-free sour cream, lime juice, ground cumin, paprika, garlic powder, chili powder, and salt. Mix well until fully combined, and set aside.
Heat a large skillet over medium heat and drizzle with olive oil or avocado oil.
Add one flour tortilla to the skillet. Spread about one tablespoon of the prepared dairy-free quesadilla sauce evenly over half of the tortilla.
Sprinkle a generous amount of dairy-free shredded cheese (about 1/4 cup) over the sauce, followed by 1/2 cup of shredded chicken. Add another layer of shredded cheese (about 1/4 cup) on top of the chicken.
Fold the tortilla in half to cover the filling and press gently with a spatula.
Cook for 2-3 minutes on each side, or until the tortilla is golden brown and the dairy-free cheese melts. Adjust heat as needed to prevent burning.
Remove the quesadilla from the skillet and set it aside to cool slightly. Repeat the process with the remaining tortillas and filling.
Once all quesadillas are cooked, slice them into wedges and serve warm. Optionally, serve with additional dairy-free sour cream, guacamole, or salsa on the side for dipping.
