How to Make Chicken Quesadilla
- Start by cooking your chicken thoroughly if using raw. Once cooked, shred or chop it and mix with cheese and any optional ingredients you desire.
- In a non-stick skillet, warm your tortilla over medium heat. The tortilla should become pliable, ensuring it folds nicely without cracking.
- Place a generous amount of your filling on one half of the tortilla and fold the other half over. Cook for about 3-4 minutes until golden brown and crispy. Flip carefully to cook the other side.
- Remove the quesadilla from the skillet, slice it into wedges, and serve immediately with sides like salsa, guacamole, or sour cream.
