Chicken Quesadillas are a quick and delicious Mexican dish made with flour tortillas loaded with seasoned shredded chicken and melted cheese, then pan-fried until perfectly crispy. It’s a crowd-pleasing meal you can whip up in minutes — perfect for lunch, dinner, or party snacks.
Lay a tortilla flat and sprinkle half of it with cheese, then a layer of shredded chicken, and a final sprinkle of cheese.
Fold it over like a half-moon.
Heat a skillet over medium heat and add a bit of olive oil or butter.
Cook the quesadilla for 2–3 minutes per side until golden brown and the cheese is fully melted.
Remove from the pan and let it rest for 1–2 minutes.
Cut into wedges and serve with salsa, sour cream, or guacamole on the side.
