  • ¼ teaspoon garlic salt (with parsley flakes)
  • 2 teaspoons hot sauce
  • 6 tortillas
  • 2 cups Mexican cheese
  • 2 cups shredded chicken, seasoned

Instructions

    Cup of Yum
  1. Whisk mayo, taco seasoning, garlic salt, and hot sauce.
  2. Spread the mayo mixture on one side of a tortilla. Sprinkle the desired amount of shredded chicken on top, then some cheese. Add sauce to a second tortilla and place on top.
  3. Heat in the microwave for about 20 seconds, then put in a hot pan on the stove, until nice and crisp. If you have sauce left over, use it for dipping!

Notes

  • Make ahead and freeze. Assemble as directed and microwave. Allow to cool, place them on a cookie sheet, and flash-freeze. Once firm transfer to freezer ziploc and freeze for up to 2 months.
  • To heat, place frozen quesadilla in the microwave for 30-60 seconds. Transfer to a nonstick pan and finish cooking over medium heat until cheese is melted and the tortilla is crispy.
  • Store leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 4 days. Reheat in the microwave or skillet.
