Ultimate Cheesy Chicken Quesadillas

Ingredients

- 1 rotisserie chicken, shredded
- 1 cup Cheddar cheese, shredded
- 1 cup Pepper Jack cheese, shredded
- 1 teaspoon Kosher salt
- 1 teaspoon Black pepper
- 2 tablespoons Vegetable oil
- 8 large Flour tortillas
- 1 cup Guacamole
- 1 cup Pico de gallo
- 1 cup Sour cream

Instructions

1. Prepare the Chicken Mixture
In a medium bowl, combine the shredded rotisserie chicken, 1 teaspoon of Kosher salt, and 1 teaspoon of black pepper. Mix well to ensure the seasoning is evenly distributed.

2. Assemble the Quesadillas
Lay the flour tortillas flat on a clean surface. Evenly distribute the shredded Cheddar and Pepper Jack cheeses across four of the tortillas. Top with the seasoned chicken mixture. Cover with the remaining tortillas to form quesadillas.

3. Preheat the Pan
In a non-stick skillet, heat 1 tablespoon of vegetable oil over medium heat (approximately 350°F). Allow the oil to heat for about 2 minutes until shimmering.

4. Cook the Quesadillas
Carefully place a quesadilla in the pan. Cook for about 3 minutes on each side, or until the tortilla is golden brown and the cheese inside has melted thoroughly. Use a spatula to gently press down the quesadilla to help it stay together. Repeat the process with the remaining quesadillas, adding the second tablespoon of vegetable oil for the next batch.

5. Cut and Serve
Once cooked, remove the quesadillas from the skillet and allow them to rest for 1 minute on a cutting board. Cut each quesadilla into wedges.

6. Garnish and Enjoy
Serve the quesadilla wedges with guacamole, pico de gallo, and sour cream on the side for dipping.
