Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 cups Cooked chicken breast, shredded
- 1 cup Barbecue sauce
- 1.5 cups Shredded cheddar cheese
- 4 Flour tortillas (medium size)
- 0.5 cup Red onion, finely diced
- 0.25 cup Fresh cilantro, chopped
- 2 tablespoons Butter
- 0.5 cup Sour cream (for serving, optional)
- 0.5 cup Guacamole (for serving, optional)
Instructions
In a large mixing bowl, combine the shredded chicken and barbecue sauce. Stir until the chicken is evenly coated and set aside.
Lay out the flour tortillas on a flat surface. On one half of each tortilla, sprinkle a generous layer of shredded cheddar cheese.
Add an even layer of the barbecue chicken mixture over the cheese.
Top the chicken with a small amount of finely diced red onion and chopped cilantro.
Sprinkle another layer of cheddar cheese over the chicken and toppings, then fold the tortilla over to create a half-moon shape.
Heat a large nonstick skillet or griddle over medium heat and add 1/2 tablespoon of butter. Swirl the butter to coat the pan evenly.
Place one or two quesadillas in the skillet, depending on the size of your pan. Cook for 2-3 minutes on each side, or until the tortilla is golden brown and crispy and the cheese has melted. Repeat with the remaining quesadillas, adding more butter to the pan as needed.
Use a sharp knife or pizza cutter to slice each quesadilla into wedges.
Serve warm with sour cream and guacamole on the side for dipping, if desired.
