Cooking/Assembling

- Place a tortilla on the griddle and add a generous layer of BBQ chicken mixture and cheese on one half.
- Fold the tortilla over the filling to create a half-moon shape.
- Cook for about 3-4 minutes on each side until golden brown and the cheese melts.
- Use a spatula to gently flip, ensuring the quesadilla gets crispy and crunchy.
Serving
- Once both sides are crispy, remove the quesadilla from the griddle.
- Let it rest for a minute before slicing it into triangles for easy serving.
- Serve warm with your choice of optional toppings like sour cream, fresh cilantro, or jalapenos.
Notes
For the best results, let your quesadilla rest between cooking and serving. You can also easily adapt the recipe to be gluten-free or dairy-free by swapping ingredients.
