Cuisine: Mexican
Serves: 2 servings
Ingredients
- 2 flour tortillas
- 1 cup cooked chicken, shredded
- 1/2 cup hummus
- 1 cup shredded cheese (cheddar or mozzarella)
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- Optional: salsa for serving
Instructions
- Gather all the ingredients: 2 flour tortillas, 1 cup shredded cooked chicken, 1/2 cup hummus, 1 cup shredded cheese (cheddar or mozzarella), 1 tablespoon olive oil, and optional salsa for serving.
- Heat a large skillet over medium heat. Add the olive oil and allow it to warm for about 1 minute.
- While the skillet is heating, take one flour tortilla and spread 1/4 cup of hummus evenly over one side of the tortilla.
- On top of the hummus, layer 1/2 cup of shredded chicken, followed by 1/2 cup of shredded cheese.
- Place the second tortilla on top, pressing down gently to help the ingredients adhere.
- Carefully transfer the quesadilla to the heated skillet. Cook for about 3-4 minutes, or until the bottom tortilla is golden brown and the cheese begins to melt.
- Using a spatula, carefully flip the quesadilla over and cook for an additional 3-4 minutes on the other side until it is golden brown and the cheese is fully melted.
- Once cooked, remove the quesadilla from the skillet and let it cool for a minute before slicing it into wedges.
- Serve the quesadilla warm with optional salsa on the side for dipping.
Tips
- • Make sure your skillet is at the perfect medium heat to achieve that golden, crispy exterior without burning the tortilla • Use pre-cooked or rotisserie chicken to save time and add instant flavor • For extra crispiness, press down gently on the quesadilla with a spatula while cooking • Let the quesadilla rest for a minute after cooking to help the cheese set and make cutting easier • Experiment with different cheese blends like pepper jack or a Mexican cheese mix for added excitement • If you want a healthier version, use whole wheat tortillas and add some fresh spinach or arugula inside • Serve immediately for the best texture and melted cheese experience
