Description
A delicious BBQ Chicken Quesadilla recipe that combines shredded chicken, BBQ sauce, and a blend of cheeses, all grilled to perfection.
Ingredients
Scale
- 2 cups cooked chicken, shredded
- 1 cup BBQ sauce
- 1 cup shredded cheddar cheese
- 1 cup shredded mozzarella cheese
- 4 large flour tortillas
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1/2 teaspoon onion powder
- 1/4 teaspoon black pepper
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
- Sour cream and chopped green onions for serving (optional)
Instructions
- In a large bowl, combine the shredded chicken and BBQ sauce, mixing well until the chicken is fully coated.
- In another bowl, mix the cheddar cheese, mozzarella cheese, garlic powder, onion powder, black pepper, and salt.
- Heat a large skillet over medium heat and add 1/2 tablespoon of olive oil.
- Place one tortilla in the skillet and sprinkle half of the cheese mixture evenly over the tortilla.
- Spread half of the BBQ chicken mixture over the cheese, then top with the remaining cheese mixture.
- Place a second tortilla on top and cook for about 3-4 minutes, or until the bottom tortilla is golden brown.
- Carefully flip the quesadilla using a large spatula and add the remaining olive oil to the skillet. Cook for another 3-4 minutes until the second side is golden brown and the cheese is melted.
- Remove from the skillet and let it cool for a minute before slicing into wedges.
- Serve with sour cream and chopped green onions, if desired.
Notes
- For a spicier kick, add sliced jalapeños to the chicken mixture before assembling the quesadilla.
- You can substitute the chicken with cooked pulled pork or beef for a different flavor profile.
