Instructions
- Heat the vegetable oil in a large skillet over medium heat.
- Add in the chicken. Season it with the taco seasoning. Sauté the chicken for 3-4 minutes per side until it’s browned and the chicken is cooked through
- Remove the chicken from the skillet to a separate plate and set aside.
- Heat a griddle over medium high heat or you can heat a cast iron skillet.
- Place the tortillas on the griddle or skillet. Top each tortilla with a small amount of the Mexican shredded cheese, then layer the chicken on top and then add more shredded cheese. Carefully fold each tortilla in half making a half moon shape.
- Cook over medium heat until one side of the tortilla is golden brown (3-4 minutes). Flip and then cook until the other side is golden brown as well (3-4 minutes). Watch them closely as they brown quickly.
- Remove the quesadillas onto a cutting board. Slice them and they are ready to serve and enjoy!
Notes
- I used vegetable oil in this recipe but any oil with a high smoke point will work great. Avocado oil, coconut oil or canola oil would work great in this recipe.
- You can easily use your favorite type of cheeses in this quesadilla recipe. Use your favorite.
- These are best served fresh but you can refrigerate the leftovers in an airtight container for up to 5 days.
- You can use cooked chicken for this recipe if you prefer to save time on making these quesadilla recipes.
