Ingredients
- 2 cups cooked chicken, shredded
- 4 slices cooked bacon, crumbled
- 1 cup shredded cheddar cheese
- 4 large flour tortillas
- 1 tablespoon olive oil or butter
- 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1/2 teaspoon onion powder
- Salt and pepper to taste
- Salsa, guacamole, or sour cream for serving (optional)
Instructions
- Prepare Filling: In a mixing bowl, combine the shredded chicken, crumbled bacon, garlic powder, onion powder, salt, and pepper. Mix well until combined.
- Assemble Quesadillas: Heat a skillet over medium heat. Place one tortilla in the skillet and sprinkle half of it with cheese. Add a generous portion of the chicken and bacon mixture on top, followed by another layer of cheese. Fold the tortilla over to cover the filling.
- Cook Quesadillas: Cook for about 3-4 minutes on one side until golden brown, then flip carefully and cook the other side for an additional 3-4 minutes until crispy and the cheese is melted.
- Repeat: Remove the quesadilla from the skillet and slice into wedges. Repeat the process with remaining tortillas and filling.
- Serve: Serve the quesadilla melts hot with your choice of salsa, guacamole, or sour cream.
