Ingredients
2 cups cooked, shredded or diced chicken (rotisserie works great)
1 tsp chili powder
1/2 tsp garlic powder
Salt and pepper to taste
1 1/2 cups shredded cheese (cheddar, Monterey Jack, or a blend)
4 large flour tortillas
1 tbsp olive oil or butter (for crisping)
Optional: sautéed onions, bell peppers, black beans, jalapeños, or corn
How to Make Easy Chicken Quesadillas
Season the chicken: In a bowl, mix the cooked chicken with chili powder, garlic powder, salt, and pepper. You can warm it up slightly in a skillet if using refrigerated leftovers.
Assemble the quesadillas: Lay a tortilla flat and sprinkle half with a layer of shredded cheese, then the seasoned chicken, and any optional add-ins. Top with more cheese, then fold the tortilla in half.
Cook until golden and crispy: Heat a nonstick skillet over medium heat and add a little oil or butter. Place the quesadilla in the pan and cook for 2–3 minutes per side, or until golden brown and cheese is melted.
Slice and serve: Transfer to a cutting board and let cool for a minute before slicing into wedges. Serve with your favorite dips and toppings.

Sour cream or Greek yogurt
