Ingredients
Scale
- 2 cups cooked chicken breast, shredded (rotisserie chicken is ideal)
- 1 cup shredded mozzarella cheese
- 1/2 cup shredded cheddar cheese
- 1/4 cup grated Parmesan cheese
- 4 large flour tortillas
- 3 tbsp butter, melted
- 2 cloves garlic, minced
- 1 tbsp fresh parsley, chopped
- Salt and black pepper, to taste
- Optional: 1/4 cup ranch or Caesar dressing for extra flavor
Instructions
- Prepare Garlic Butter: In a small bowl, mix the melted butter, minced garlic, chopped parsley, and a pinch of salt. This garlic butter will enhance the flavor of your quesadillas.
- Assemble the Quesadillas: Lay out each tortilla flat. On one half of the tortilla, evenly distribute the mozzarella, cheddar, and Parmesan cheeses. Add the shredded chicken on top of the cheese and drizzle with ranch or Caesar dressing if desired. Fold the tortilla over to create a half-moon shape and gently press to seal the ingredients inside.
- Cook the Quesadillas: Heat a skillet over medium heat. Brush the top of each quesadilla with the prepared garlic butter, then place it in the skillet, buttered side down. Brush the other side with garlic butter. Cook each side for 2-3 minutes or until the tortillas are golden brown and the cheese has melted.
- Serve: Cut each quesadilla into wedges and serve warm. Offer extra garlic butter or your favorite dipping sauce on the side for an enhanced flavor experience.
