Chicken & Cheese Quesadillas

Last week I posted a YUMMY recipe for Honey-Lime Enchiladas that would be perfect for Cinco de Mayo, but if Enchiladas aren’t your “thing” you may like these Chicken & Cheese Quesadillas.
They are quick and easy……and not as spicy as the enchiladas…..so kids may enjoy this meal a little more.
We make these ALL the time!
EDITED to say this recipe WON
Tuesday Taste Peoples Choice Award
over at Crazy Daisy!!
Chicken & Cheese Quesadillas
Serves 3-4 (*this can be easily adapted to however many servings you need, this is just what I usually fix)
Ingredients
- 1.5-2 cups cooked chicken breast (I like to use rotiesserie chicken)
- 1 taco seasoning packet +water
- 4 (8 inch) flour tortillas
- 2 tablespoons melted butter
- 1 ½ cups shredded Monterey Jack Cheese (or cheddar)
- Optional toppings: lettuce, sour cream or Ranch dressing
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 475° F
- In a skillet, heat the chicken. Add taco seasoning, and mix with water according to the package.
- Brush one side of each tortilla with melted butter; place the buttered side down on a lightly greased baking sheet.
- Spoon 1/4 of the chicken mixture over half of each tortilla
- Sprinkle each with 1/3 cup cheese
- Fold tortilla over chicken and cheese.
- Bake for 10 mins.
- To serve, cut each quesadilla in half with a pizza cutter and enjoy!
Notes
We like to open ours and add lettuce and sour cream or dunk in ranch dressing.

You know what, I don't normally cook Mexican for Cinqo de Mayo…but I may need to after seeing this!
Or I'll stop at Taco Bell. I'm always looking for an excuse.
Seriously – this looks delicious! I'd have a whole big tub of sour cream waiting for them!
