  • 1 can 12.5 oz chicken, drained
  • 2 cups shredded cheese cheddar, Monterey Jack, or your favorite
  • 8 flour tortillas

  3. Place one tortilla in the hot skillet and spread about 1/2 cup of the chicken and cheese mixture evenly over the tortilla.
  4. Top with another tortilla and press down gently.
  5. Cook for 2-3 minutes, or until the bottom tortilla is golden brown and the cheese starts to melt.
  6. Carefully flip the quesadilla with a spatula and cook for another 2-3 minutes on the other side until golden and crispy.
  7. Remove from the skillet and let cool for a minute before cutting into wedges.
  8. Repeat steps 3-7 with the remaining tortillas and chicken mixture.
  9. Serve with salsa, sour cream, and guacamole if desired. Enjoy!
