Description
Ever the reliable 10-minute snack or meal, chicken quesadillas are not hard to make, but a few pointers ensure they’re as gooey, crispy and delicious as possible: Start with cool, shredded chicken so it doesn’t make the tortilla soggy. Toss the chicken and cheese together for even distribution, and add a smidgen of chili powder to the filling for spunk. Cook the quesadilla over moderate heat, so the cheese melts just as the tortilla’s toasted.
Ingredients
(one per line)
¾cup/4 ounces cooked, shredded, cooled chicken 1cup/4 ounces shredded Cheddar, Mexican blend, pepper Jack or Monterey Jack cheese ½teaspoon chili powder 2(8- to 10-inch) flour tortillas Any combination of hot sauce, crema, salsa and guacamole (all optional), for serving
Directions
Heat a large nonstick skillet over medium. Meanwhile, in a medium bowl, toss together the chicken, cheese and chili powder until combined. Sprinkle half the filling across half of each tortilla, then fold the tortillas over the filling to create a half moon. Add the folded tortillas to the skillet, making a circle. Cook, pressing down occasionally, until the cheese has melted and the tortillas are crisp and golden, 1 to 3 minutes per side. Transfer to plates, let sit for about 30 seconds, then cut into wedges and eat with desired toppings.
