Ingredients
- 4 large (10-inch) Flour tortillas
- 2 cups (shredded) Cooked chicken breast
- 1.5 cups (shredded) Cheddar cheese
- 1.5 cups (shredded) Monterey Jack cheese
- 4 slices (crumbled) Cooked bacon
- 1 small (diced) Tomato
- 2 stalks (sliced) Green onions
- 2 tablespoons Butter
- 0.5 cup (for serving) Salsa
- 0.5 cup (for serving) Sour cream
Directions
Step 1
Preheat a large skillet or griddle over medium heat.
Step 2
In a bowl, combine the shredded chicken, cheddar cheese, Monterey Jack cheese, crumbled bacon, diced tomato, and sliced green onions. Mix well to evenly distribute the ingredients.
Step 3
Spread a small amount of the chicken-cheese mixture evenly over half of a tortilla, leaving a small border around the edges. Fold the other half of the tortilla over to cover the filling.
Step 4
Melt 1/2 tablespoon of butter in the preheated skillet. Place the folded quesadilla in the pan and cook for 2-3 minutes on each side, or until both sides are golden brown and the cheese has fully melted.
Step 5
Remove the quesadilla from the pan and place it on a cutting board. Repeat the process with the remaining tortillas and filling, adding more butter to the skillet as needed.
Step 6
Slice each quesadilla into wedges and serve immediately with salsa and sour cream for dipping.
