Ingredients
- butter
- 2 8-inch tortillas
- 2 cups shredded Mexican cheese blend divided
- 1 cup cooked shredded chicken divided
- 1 Roma tomato diced small and divided
- 2 green onions divided
- 2 teaspoons homemade taco seasoning
Instructions
- Lightly butter one side of each tortilla, making sure to cover the whole surface.
- Heat a large skillet over medium to medium-high heat, and place the buttered side down of the tortilla onto the pan.
- Spread one cup on cheese over the entire tortilla.
- Place half of the chicken on only half of the cheese covered tortilla. Then on top of the chicken add half of the tomato, half of the green onion, and sprinkle half of the taco seasoning.
- Allow the tortilla to cook for a couple of minutes, so that the bottom becomes toasted and crispy, and the cheese completely melts.
- To fold the quesadilla, use a spatula to lift the cheese side over onto the fillings. Gently press together and cook for another minute or so, until completely heated through. Flip and cook on the other side for about a minute.
- Place onto a plate and cut into thirds or two halves. Serve with pico de gallo, guacamole, salsa, and sour cream.
