Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 pieces flour tortillas
- 1 cup shredded cheddar cheese
- 1 cup cooked chicken, shredded
- 2 tablespoons sour cream
- 2 tablespoons salsa
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- 2 teaspoons chopped fresh cilantro
- 1 teaspoon ground cumin
- 0.5 teaspoon salt
- 0.25 teaspoon black pepper
Instructions
Preheat a large skillet over medium heat.
In a small bowl, combine the shredded chicken, ground cumin, salt, and black pepper. Mix well to evenly coat the chicken with the seasonings.
Brush one side of each flour tortilla with olive oil.
Place one tortilla, oiled side down, in the skillet. Sprinkle half of the shredded cheddar cheese evenly over the tortilla.
Add the seasoned shredded chicken evenly over the cheese layer.
Sprinkle the remaining shredded cheddar cheese over the chicken layer, then place the second tortilla on top, oiled side up.
Cook the quesadilla for 3-4 minutes, pressing gently with a spatula, until the bottom tortilla is golden brown and the cheese begins to melt.
Carefully flip the quesadilla and cook the other side for another 3-4 minutes, until golden brown and the cheese is fully melted.
Remove the quesadilla from the skillet and let it rest for 1 minute before cutting into quarters.
Serve hot with a dollop of sour cream, a spoonful of salsa, and a garnish of fresh cilantro.
