Chicken Quesadilla Recipe with Tequila Lime Chicken

Chicken Quesadillas

Chicken Quesadilla Ingredients

• 1 pound Tequila Lime Chicken
• Flour tortillas
• Mexican cheeses (I recommend using a Mexican blend along with a Colby/Monterey Jack blend, but use your favorite)
• Peppers, onions, etc. (optional)

Chicken Quesadilla Recipe Directions

1. Shred the previously prepared chicken. If you do not have it already made, follow the recipe above, and then continue to step 2.
2. Microwave the tortillas for just a few seconds, (20 or so should do it, but microwave oven’s vary) to get them warm so the first layer of cheese melts instantly.
3. Top one warm tortilla with a layer of cheese.
4. Add a generous helping of the chicken.
5. Add any other optional toppings.
6. Add another layer of cheese.
7. Top with second tortilla.
8. Fry in pan over medium heat for 2-4 minutes, or until golden brown and cheese is melted.
9. Flip, and repeat.

Serve with Spanish Rice, black beans, sour cream, guacamole, or salsa.
