Ingredients
2 small tortillas (wheat, whole wheat, or gluten-free)
1/4 – 1/2 cup shredded cooked chicken (to taste)
1/4 – 1/3 cup shredded mozzarella cheese (or cheddar, or other meltable cheese of your choice)
Instructions
-
Prepare the tortillas: Heat a skillet or griddle over medium heat. Place one tortilla in the skillet and cook for 1-2 minutes, or until it begins to slightly brown.
-
Add the filling: Sprinkle the shredded chicken evenly over the tortilla, followed by the shredded cheese. Place the second tortilla on top to form a sandwich.
-
Cook the quesadilla: Cook the quesadilla for another 2-3 minutes, pressing gently with a spatula. Flip the quesadilla carefully and cook for another 2 minutes, or until the cheese is melted and the tortillas are golden and crispy.
-
Slice and serve: Remove from the skillet, slice into wedges, and serve immediately.
Notes
Storage: These mini quesadillas are best served fresh, but you can store leftovers in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 2 days.
Reheating: Reheat in a skillet over low heat or microwave for 20-30 seconds. For extra crispiness, use a toaster oven.
Add-ins: Add sautéed veggies like bell peppers, onions, or spinach for added flavor and crunch. You can also add jalapeños for some spice.
Protein Swap: Use beef, turkey, or black beans as an alternative to chicken for a different twist.
