Barbecue Chicken Quesadilla
Crisp pan fried quesadillas packed with barbecue chicken, cilantro, and red onion. Reminiscent of barbecue chicken pizza.
Yields: 4 quesadillas
Ingredients
- 8 flour tortillas
- 1 pound barbecue chicken, cooked and chopped
- 1/4 cup barbecue sauce
- 2 cups cheddar or jack cheese, grated
- 1/4 cup red onion, thinly sliced
- 1/4 cup cilantro
Instructions
Heat a large skillet over medium heat. Swirl the pan with oil. Spread 1 tablespoon of barbecue sauce evenly onto one of the flour tortillas. Sprinkle with 1/2 cup cheese, 1/4 cup barbecue chicken, and 1 tablespoon each red onion and chopped cilantro. Top with another flour tortilla and place into the hot pan. Fry the quesadillas until brown and crisp on both sides and until the cheese is completely melted in the middle. Repeat with remaining tortillas, adding more oil to the pan as needed. Cut the hot quesadillas into triangles. Serve promptly with additional barbecue sauce for dipping, if desired.
