Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 pieces Boneless, skinless chicken breasts
- 2 tablespoons Olive oil
- 1 tablespoon Taco seasoning
- 4 pieces Large flour tortillas
- 1.5 cups Shredded cheddar cheese
- 1.5 cups Shredded Monterey Jack cheese
- 0.5 cup Diced tomatoes
- 0.25 cup Chopped green onions
- 2 tablespoons Cilantro, chopped
- 0.5 cup Sour cream
- 0.5 cup Guacamole (optional)
- 0.5 cup Salsa (optional)
Instructions
Heat the olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat.
Season the chicken breasts with taco seasoning on all sides.
Cook the chicken breasts in the skillet for 6-8 minutes per side, or until fully cooked and no longer pink in the center. Remove from skillet and let rest for 5 minutes before slicing into thin strips.
Preheat a non-stick skillet or griddle over medium heat.
Place one flour tortilla on the skillet. Sprinkle 1/4 of the shredded cheddar and Monterey Jack cheese evenly over half of the tortilla.
Layer sliced chicken strips, diced tomatoes, green onions, and cilantro on top of the cheese layer. Sprinkle another 1/4 of the cheese mixture on top to create a gooey, melty layer.
Fold the tortilla in half, pressing gently with a spatula to seal ingredients inside.
Cook the quesadilla for 2-3 minutes on each side, or until the tortilla is golden brown and the cheese is fully melted.
Transfer cooked quesadilla to a cutting board and let cool for 1-2 minutes before slicing into triangles.
Repeat with the remaining tortillas and filling.
Serve hot with sour cream, guacamole, and salsa on the side for dipping.
