Ingredients

  • 2 cups shredded seasoned chicken
  • 1 cup mayonnaise
  • ½ tsp taco seasoning
  • ¼ tsp garlic salt (with parsley flakes)
  • 2 tsp hot sauce
  • 6 tortillas
  • 2 cups Mexican cheese

Instructions

  • Heat a large skillet over medium heat.
  • In a small bowl, mix shredded chicken, mayonnaise, taco seasoning, garlic salt, and hot sauce.
  • Spread 1/4 cup of the chicken mixture over one side of each tortilla.
  • Sprinkle 1/3 cup of cheese over the chicken mixture on each tortilla.
  • Fold the tortillas in half, pressing lightly to seal the edges.
  • Cook the quesadillas in the skillet for 2-3 minutes on each side until the cheese is melted and tortilla is golden brown.
  • Cut into wedges and serve hot.

Notes

Pro Tip: To add an extra kick of flavor to your chicken quesadillas, try marinating the chicken in your favorite spices and seasonings for a few hours before cooking. This will infuse the meat with even more deliciousness and elevate the taste to the next level.
Variation: For a vegetarian twist, swap out the chicken for grilled veggies like bell peppers, onions, and mushrooms. Simply sauté the veggies with some taco seasoning until tender, then use them as the filling for your quesadillas. You'll still get that same cheesy goodness with a burst of veggie flavor!
