Easy Chicken Quesadillas are a quick, tasty, and satisfying meal or snack made with tender chicken, melty cheese, and colorful veggies all wrapped in a crispy tortilla.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 2 cups cooked chicken, shredded or diced
  • 1 cup shredded cheese (cheddar, Monterey Jack, or a blend)
  • 1/2 cup diced bell peppers (any color)
  • 1/4 cup diced onion
  • 1/4 cup chopped fresh cilantro (optional)
  • 4 large flour tortillas
  • Cooking spray or butter
  • Salsa, sour cream, and guacamole, for serving (optional)

Instructions

  1. In a large mixing bowl, combine the cooked chicken, shredded cheese, diced bell peppers, diced onion, and chopped cilantro (if using). Mix until well combined.
  2. Lay one flour tortilla flat on a clean surface. Spoon some of the chicken mixture onto one half of the tortilla, spreading it out evenly.
  3. Fold the other half of the tortilla over the chicken mixture to create a half-moon shape.
  4. Repeat with the remaining tortillas and chicken mixture.
  5. Heat a large skillet or griddle over medium heat. Lightly coat the surface with cooking spray or melt a small amount of butter.
  6. Place the quesadillas in the skillet or griddle and cook for 2-3 minutes on each side, or until the tortillas are golden brown and crispy and the cheese is melted.
  7. Remove the quesadillas from the skillet or griddle and let them cool for a minute before slicing into wedges.
  8. Serve the chicken quesadillas hot with salsa, sour cream, and guacamole on the side for dipping, if desired.

Notes

  • Use any combination of cheese you prefer.
  • Add any additional vegetables for more flavor.
