We enjoy chicken quesadillas a lot! They are super easy to make once you get a recipe that works for you.
I don’t have a formal written recipe, but here is how I do it using the shredded salsa chicken I make ahead.
Chicken Quesadillas
Ingredients
- Shredded salsa chicken (previously made)
- Salsa
- Shredded sharp cheddar cheese
- Green onions
- Tortillas
- Olive oil
Directions
- I mix shredded salsa chicken, salsa, shredded sharp cheddar, and green onions in a bowl. I use whatever amounts seem appropriate, but I usually use one cup of shredded chicken for two servings/small quesadillas.
- Preheat an electric griddle to a medium temperature. If you like soft tortillas, spray the griddle with Pam. If you like them crispier, brush some olive oil on the outside of the bottom tortillas and lay them oil side down on the griddle. Immediately spread the chicken mixture on the tortillas. Lay the other tortillas on top, press down lightly and brush the top with oil.
- Keep an eye on them and flip when they start to get melted inside and lightly browned on the bottom. Then continue to grill them until they look done.
- Sometimes I also add rinsed, cooked black beans for extra protein and fiber.
- Serve with salsa and/or sour cream.
Enjoy!

Hi! I am also expecting a baby after three years of waiting. Our child is due in January. The Lord has moved us to an exciting job that pays less =), so I’ve been looking for ways to save money on groceries. Some of your recipes really seem to fill that bill. Thanks for sharing them.
