mexican blend or cheddar
- 1 ½ tsptaco seasoning
- 2 crotisserie chicken meat
cubed
- toppings: guacamole
sour cream, salsa, optional
Directions
Prep:
- 1
Chop the rotisserie chicken into small pieces. The smaller the chicken, the more evenly and quickly it will warm up.
- 2
Lay the tortillas flat on a cutting board. Spray the top of each tortilla with cooking spray and flip over.
- 3
Distribute about 2 tablespoons of shredded cheese on half of each tortilla. Sprinkle a little less than 1/2 a teaspoon of taco seasoning over the cheese and then top with 1/2 cup of chopped, cooked rotisserie chicken. On top of the chicken, sprinkle another 2 tablespoons of shredded cheese. Having the cheese on both sides will help seal the quesadilla.

Fold the tortilla over to form a half-moon. The greased sides should be facing out.
Cook:
- 1
Heat a large skillet over medium-high heat. Once hot, place one or two quesadillas on the hot surface. Cook for 3 minutes on the first side; use a spatula to flatten out the quesadilla, and flip over. Cook for an additional 2 minutes on the other side until the cheese is melted and the chicken has warmed up.
Serve:
- 1
Remove the quesadillas from the pan and slice each quesadilla into 3 pieces. Serve with sour cream, guacamole, and salsa if you want.
