– 2 cups cooked chicken, shredded
– 1 teaspoon smoked paprika
– 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
– Salt and pepper to taste
– 4 large flour tortillas
– 2 cups shredded cheese (cheddar, Monterey Jack, or a blend)
– 1 cup diced tomatoes
– 1/2 cup diced red onion
– Fresh cilantro, chopped (for garnish)
– Sour cream and salsa (for serving)
Directions:
1. In a bowl, combine the shredded chicken with smoked paprika, garlic powder, salt, and pepper. Mix well to coat the chicken evenly.
2. Lay out a flour tortilla and sprinkle a portion of shredded cheese evenly on one side.
3. Add a generous amount of the seasoned shredded chicken on top of the cheese.
4. Scatter diced tomatoes and red onions over the chicken.
5. Fold the tortilla in half, creating a half-moon shape.
6. Heat a skillet over medium heat and cook the quesadilla for 2-3 minutes on each side or until the cheese is melted, and the tortilla is golden and crispy.
7. Repeat the process for the remaining tortillas.
8. Once cooked, slice the quesadillas into wedges, garnish with fresh cilantro, and serve with sour cream and salsa on the side.
