Ingredients
Scale
- 1 ½ pounds chicken breast diced into small cubes
- 2 Tablespoon olive oil
- 1 ounce taco seasoning (1 package)
- 2 cups shredded Mexican Cheese
- ¼ cup salsa
- 4 flour tortillas burrito size
Instructions
- Preheat a large skillet over medium high heat.
- Cut the chicken into small cubes and place in a medium mixing bowl. Add the taco seasoning and mix well to coat the chicken evenly.
- Spread 1 tablespoon of olive oil on the skillet. Add the chicken in an even layer and sauté for 3-4 minutes on each side until lightly browned but not fully cooked.
- Top the chicken with salsa and toss to coat. Cook until the chicken reaches an internal temperature of 165°F, about 3-4 more minutes.
- Remove the chicken from the skillet and place it on a plate. Reduce the heat to medium low.
- To assemble the quesadillas, lay a tortilla flat on a cutting board. Spread cheese on one half, add chicken on top, then add more cheese before folding the tortilla in half.
- Add the remaining 1 tablespoon of olive oil to the skillet and cook 2 of the assembled tortillas until golden brown on one side (2-3 minutes). Flip and cook the other side until golden brown (2-3 minutes).
- Remove the quesadillas, slice, and serve immediately.
