Real Easy Recipes: Chicken and Cheese Quesadillas (30 Minute Meals)

Sharing is caring!

If you are on the hunt for Chicken Recipes this one is a winner! These chicken and cheese quesadillas are so simple to make.

This is perfect for a busy week night when you need to get dinner on the table fast.

I used a rotisserie chicken and shred it up to make the prep even easier.

I also used refrigerated tortillas. Have you ever tried them? So fresh and delicious! They taste like you made them from scratch.

Ingredients:

  • 8-10 refrigerated tortillas (you could also use pre-cooked tortillas they just taste more processed to me)
  • 2 c shredded cooked chicken (use a rotisserie chicken to save time)
  • 2 c shredded cheddar cheese
  • toppings like: sour cream, salsa, guacamole, etc

Over a medium heat, lightly brown each side of the tortilla.

Fold the tortilla over and press with a spatula to seal well.

Cook the tortilla for 1 minute on each side, being sure not to burn the tortilla but to also melt the cheese.

Plate it up and top as you please.

I like to cut the tortilla in half to make it easier for the kids to manage.

We served it with Puerto Rican Rice which I started before I started the quesadillas and then once the quesadillas were done the rice was done too.

    With a husband that ONLY eats meat, cheese and potatoes, it’s very hard to come up with variety! He’ll do tacos, hamburger helper, and mac with any meat…. Where I like fruits, veggies, soups, casseroles, spaghetti, etc. It’s SO hard to come up with new ideas. This is really simple and easy to do! Thanks for sharing!
