Description
A delicious twist on the classic quesadilla, combining savory Italian flavors with tender shredded chicken, melted cheese, and fresh herbs.
Ingredients
- 2 cups cooked shredded chicken
- 1 cup shredded mozzarella cheese
- 1/2 cup finely grated Parmesan cheese
- 2 tablespoons chopped fresh basil (or 1 teaspoon dried)
- 1/2 cup chopped sun-dried tomatoes (optional)
- 1 teaspoon Italian seasoning
- Salt and pepper to taste
- 4 large 10-inch flour tortillas
- 1 teaspoon olive oil (for cooking)
Instructions
- Toss the shredded chicken with Italian seasoning and a little olive oil.
- Spread filling over half of each tortilla and fold them in half.
- Preheat a skillet over medium heat and add 1 teaspoon of oil.
- Cook each quesadilla in the skillet for 3–4 minutes per side until golden brown and cheese melts.
- Press gently with a spatula to help the cheese fuse and the tortilla crisp without burning.
- Cut into wedges and serve with marinara or pesto.
Notes
For best results, use freshly grated mozzarella for better melting. These quesadillas can be made ahead and refrigerated or frozen for later.
