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 Recipe
2 medium to large flour tortillas
mild cheddar cheese, grated
a sprinkle of finely chopped yellow onion, optional
cooked chicken, use up any left overs or bbq chicken, marinated with Newman's Own Italian Dressing
In a flat pan, add 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 browns a little. Turn the quesadilla over with a pancake turner. Cook until the cheese is completely melted and nicely browned.
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.
