Ingredients
3/4 cup finely shredded rotisserie chicken, skin and bones removed
4 medium (8-inch) flour tortillas
1 cup shredded Monterey Jack or mild cheddar cheese
2 tablespoons sour cream
1/4 teaspoon ground cumin
2 teaspoons olive oil, divided
Instructions
1. Mix the chicken with the sour cream and cumin.
2. Sprinkle 2 tablespoons cheese over half of each tortilla. Divide the chicken mixture among the four tortillas, placing it over the cheese. Sprinkle each with another 2 tablespoons cheese and fold the empty half over the filling.
3. Heat 1/2 teaspoon olive oil in a skillet over medium-low heat. Add one folded quesadilla and cook for 2 to 3 minutes per side until golden, the cheese melts, and the chicken filling reaches 165°F.
4. Repeat with the remaining quesadillas and oil, adjusting the heat so the tortillas do not burn before the filling heats.
5. Rest for 1 minute, then cut into wedges. Refrigerate any unused chicken filling promptly and cook the remaining quesadillas when ready to eat.
Tips & Notes
