This chicken quesadilla recipe was a popular appetizer in our restaurant. It works great with left-over chicken, bbq chicken or even a rotisserie chicken.
Chicken Quesadilla
Ingredients:
2 flour tortillas
1 cup mild cheddar cheese, grated
a sprinkle of finely chopped yellow onion, optional
cooked chicken, left overs, bbq or rotisserie chicken
Reheat your cooked chicken in the oven or microwave. In a 350 degree F. oven the chicken should take 10 to 15 minutes.
In a frying pan, add 1 to 2 teaspoons of butter and 1 flour tortilla. Sprinkle the grated cheese to cover the tortilla.
Add a sprinke of chopped onion and the chopped chicken. Cover with the other flour tortilla and add a piece of butter on top.
Cook over medium heat until the cheese melts and the tortilla turns a golden brown. Turn the quesadilla over with a pancake turner. Cook until the cheese is completely melted.
Put the quesadilla on a plate or plater and cut with a pizza cutter into desired sizes. Add sour cream and guacamole on top of a bed of chopped lettuce in the middle of the quessadilla.
