Crispy, cheesy and loaded with juicy chicken, onions and salsa, these chicken quesadillas will melt in your mouth and satisfy your belly. Make them ahead of time (they freeze well!) or serve them as you make them\u2014this easy chicken quesadilla recipe is simple enough for a quick weeknight dinner, taking take less than 30 minutes from start to finish. Top your quesadillas with wholesome guacamole and tangy sour cream for a mouthwatering Mexican-inspired dinner.<\/p>\n
In a large skillet, combine the chicken, salsa, green onions, cumin, salt and oregano. Cook, uncovered, over medium heat until heated through, about 10 minutes, stirring occasionally to keep the ingredients from sticking.<\/p>\n Preheat the oven to 375\u00b0F. Brush one side of each tortilla with melted butter, then place the tortillas butter side down on a lightly greased baking sheet. Spoon 1\/3 cup of the chicken mixture over half of each tortilla, then sprinkle the chicken with 1\/3 cup cheese.<\/p>\n Fold the plain side of each tortilla over the filling, and bake until the tortillas are crisp and golden brown, 9 to 11 minutes. Cut the quesadillas into wedges, and serve them with sour cream and guacamole or other toppings of your choice.<\/p>\n Wrap any leftovers in aluminum foil or store them in an airtight container. You can also keep them directly in the baking dish that you used, but wrap the top before popping them in the fridge. They’ll need to be consumed within three to four days.<\/p>\n Yes, you can freeze chicken quesadillas. Once assembled, put the tortillas in a freezer-safe foil dish and cover it. When you want to eat them, you’ll take them out to thaw thoroughly, then bake as the recipe calls for. As long as the chicken quesadillas are stored properly, you can keep them in the freezer for up to four months.<\/p>\n Warm the shells for just a few minutes, sprinkling just a touch of water on them first. The moisture will penetrate the shells just enough to keep them moist while cooking, which greatly helps when dealing with splitting shells.<\/p>\n Yes, you can make chicken quesadilla recipes vegetarian (or even vegan, if you swap out the non-vegan ingredients for vegan-friendly options). Simply omit the chicken, and use black beans or pinto beans instead.<\/p>\n In addition to sour cream and guacamole, you can top your chicken quesadillas with a homemade pico de gallo<\/a>, black bean and corn salsa<\/a>\u00a0or even a dollop of refried beans with cheese.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" These stuffed chicken quesadillas pack impressive flavor, but they couldn’t be easier to make.
