Title: Barbeque Chicken Quesadilla
Ingredients:
– 2 cups cooked and shredded chicken
– 1/2 cup barbeque sauce
– 4 large flour tortillas
– 2 cups shredded cheddar cheese
– 1/2 red onion, thinly sliced
– 1/4 cup chopped fresh cilantro
– 2 tablespoons butter
Instructions:
1. In a mixing bowl, combine the shredded chicken with the barbeque sauce, tossing to coat the chicken evenly in the sauce. Set aside.
2. Lay out 2 tortillas and divide the shredded cheddar cheese evenly between them, spreading it out in a single layer over each tortilla.
3. Top the cheese on each tortilla with half of the barbeque chicken mixture, spreading it out evenly.
4. Add a layer of thinly sliced red onion on top of the chicken, distributing it evenly.
5. Sprinkle chopped fresh cilantro over the red onion on both tortillas.
6. Place the remaining 2 tortillas on top of each filled tortilla to create 2 quesadillas.
7. In a large skillet, melt 1 tablespoon of butter over medium heat. Carefully transfer one of the quesadillas to the skillet and cook for 2-3 minutes on each side, or until the tortilla is golden brown and the cheese is melted.
8. Remove the cooked quesadilla from the skillet and repeat the process with the remaining quesadilla, using the remaining butter.
9. Once both quesadillas are cooked, transfer them to a cutting board and let them rest for a minute before cutting them into wedges.
10. Serve the Barbeque Chicken Quesadillas warm with additional barbeque sauce, sour cream, or guacamole on the side for dipping.
