Ingredients
- 2 cups (shredded) Cooked chicken breast
- 1.5 cups Dairy-free shredded cheese (cheddar-style or pepper jack)
- 4 count Large flour tortillas
- 0.25 cup Dairy-free mayonnaise
- 0.25 cup Dairy-free sour cream
- 1 tablespoon Lime juice
- 0.5 teaspoon Ground cumin
- 0.5 teaspoon Paprika
- 0.25 teaspoon Garlic powder
- 0.25 teaspoon Chili powder
- 0.25 teaspoon Salt
- 1 tablespoon Olive oil or avocado oil
Directions
Step 1
In a small mixing bowl, prepare the dairy-free quesadilla sauce by combining the dairy-free mayonnaise, dairy-free sour cream, lime juice, ground cumin, paprika, garlic powder, chili powder, and salt. Mix well until fully combined, and set aside.
Step 2
Heat a large skillet over medium heat and drizzle with olive oil or avocado oil.
Step 3
Add one flour tortilla to the skillet. Spread about one tablespoon of the prepared dairy-free quesadilla sauce evenly over half of the tortilla.
Step 4
Sprinkle a generous amount of dairy-free shredded cheese (about 1/4 cup) over the sauce, followed by 1/2 cup of shredded chicken. Add another layer of shredded cheese (about 1/4 cup) on top of the chicken.
Step 5
Fold the tortilla in half to cover the filling and press gently with a spatula.
Step 6
Cook for 2-3 minutes on each side, or until the tortilla is golden brown and the dairy-free cheese melts. Adjust heat as needed to prevent burning.
Step 7
Remove the quesadilla from the skillet and set it aside to cool slightly. Repeat the process with the remaining tortillas and filling.
Step 8
Once all quesadillas are cooked, slice them into wedges and serve warm. Optionally, serve with additional dairy-free sour cream, guacamole, or salsa on the side for dipping.
