Ingredients
8 flour tortillas (2 per quesadilla)
2 cups shredded chicken
1½ cups shredded Monterey Jack cheese
½ cup BBQ sauce (plus extra for serving)
½ cup red onion, thinly sliced
⅓ cup fresh cilantro, chopped
Instructions
Prepare the Filling:
In a bowl, mix shredded chicken with BBQ sauce until evenly coated.
Assemble the Quesadillas:
Heat a large sauté pan over medium-high heat. Place one tortilla in the pan. Add a layer of cheese, BBQ chicken, sliced onion, cilantro, and another layer of cheese. Top with a second tortilla.
Cook Until Crispy:
Cook for a few minutes until the bottom tortilla is golden brown and cheese starts melting. Carefully flip and cook the other side until golden and crispy.
Serve:
Remove from pan, slice into 4–6 pieces, and serve immediately with extra BBQ sauce on the side.
Notes
Use rotisserie chicken for a faster prep option.
Add jalapeños for a spicy kick.
Cook on medium heat to avoid burning before cheese melts.
Try different cheeses like cheddar or mozzarella for variation.
