Chicken Quesadillas

August 24, 2013 by Leia

Super easy dinner here.  I used left overs to put these quesadillas together, and it was so quick and they tasted amazing.


Chicken Quesadillas

I added each ingredient in layers.  Add them while the tortilla is on the hot pan so it can start getting crisp.

Once you have all the yummy fillings in just fold the tortilla in half and let the cheese melt and the tortilla get crispy.

Serve warm with sour cream, guacamole, or your favorite salsa.

Chicken Quesadillas

Ingredients

  • Refried beans
  • Cilantro- rough chopped
  • Chicken- cooked and chopped
  • Queso Fresco- crumbled
  • Cheese (Colby Jack, Monterey, Pepper Jack, etc.)- grated
  • Tortillas

Instructions

  1. Spread beans on one half of tortilla and place tortilla on greased pan, on medium heat. Top beans with cilantro, chicken, queso fresco, and cheese. Fold tortilla in half and flip over so the cheese side is closest to the heat and can melt. Let tortilla continue to heat until cheese in melted and tortilla is crisp and golden brown.
  2. Serve warm with sour cream, guacamole, or salsa.

Queso Fresco is a white cheese that comes in a (round) brick and crumbles.  I have been able to find it at my local grocer and Wal-mart.

Hello there!

Hi there! My name is Leia. I love to eat. Good thing I also love to cook and bake. ;)
I think food can bring people together. I value family dinners and sharing good conversations over a slice of pie or some saucy nachos. Food makes people happy, and I want to help with that. Let's dig deeper →
