Ingredients

• 2 whole boneless, skinless chicken breasts, cooked and shredded
• 2 cups cheddar cheese, shredded
• 8 whole flour tortillas
• 1/2 cup salsa
• 1/4 cup sour cream
• 1/4 cup cilantro, chopped

Instructions

1. Preheat a large skillet over medium heat.
2. Place one tortilla in the skillet and evenly sprinkle half a cup of cheese over it.
3. Distribute half a chicken breast’s worth of shredded chicken evenly on top of the cheese.
4. Cover with another tortilla and cook until the bottom tortilla is golden brown, about 3 to 4 minutes.
5. Using a spatula, carefully flip the quesadilla. Continue cooking until the other side is golden brown and the cheese has melted, about 3 to 4 minutes.
6. Remove the quesadilla from the skillet, set aside on a cutting board, and cover with a kitchen towel to keep warm. Repeat the process with the remaining tortillas, cheese, and chicken.
7. Once all quesadillas are cooked, cut each into four wedges. Serve immediately with salsa, sour cream, and sprinkled with chopped cilantro.
