Description

Warm, cheesy quesadillas filled with flavorful rotisserie chicken and spices, inspired by Taco Bell.


Ingredients

  • 4 cups Rotisserie chicken, shredded
  • 1 clove Garlic, minced
  • 6 tbsp Pickled jalapeno, chopped
  • 1/2 cup Mayonnaise
  • 1/2 tsp Cayenne powder
  • 2 tsp Smoked paprika
  • Salt and pepper to taste
  • 2 tsp Cumin
  • 8 medium Flour tortillas

Instructions

  2. Combine the shredded rotisserie chicken, minced garlic, pickled jalapenos, mayonnaise, cayenne powder, smoked paprika, cumin, salt, and pepper in a mixing bowl. Mix well until fully incorporated.
  3. Take a tortilla and place it in the skillet. Sprinkle half of it with cheese and then add a generous layer of the chicken mixture.
  4. Top with another tortilla and cook for approximately 3-4 minutes on each side, or until golden brown and cheese is melted.
