Crispy flour tortillas filled with seasoned chicken and melted cheese in 15 minutes.
Avo's Tip
Use medium heat.
No flour tortillas? Corn tortillas work — use two per quesadilla and fold rather than fold flat.
No rotisserie chicken? Canned chicken (drained and seasoned) or leftover grilled chicken both work.
No shredded blend? Any good melting cheese works — Monterey Jack, cheddar, or pepper jack.

Ingredients
1
Cooked chicken
2
Olive oil
3
Shredded cheese
4
Tortillas
Instructions
1
Lay a tortilla flat. Spread shredded chicken evenly over one half, then top with a generous layer of shredded cheese. Fold the tortilla over the filling.
2
Repeat with remaining tortillas.
3
Heat a drizzle of olive oil in a skillet over medium heat. Cook the quesadilla 2–3 minutes until the bottom is golden and crisp.
4
Flip carefully and cook another 2 minutes until the second side is golden and the cheese is fully melted.
5
Slide onto a cutting board, slice into wedges, and serve immediately with sour cream, salsa, or guacamole.
Quick Fixes
Tortilla burning before cheese melts: Use medium heat, not high. Cover the pan with a lid for 30 seconds to trap heat and melt cheese faster.
Falling apart when flipping: Don't overfill. Use a wide spatula and flip in one confident motion.
