Ingredients
Units
Scale
- 1 1/2 lb chicken, (2 cups shredded)
- 1 cup salsa
- 1/4 tsp cumin
- 1/2 tsp onion powder
- 1/2 tsp garlic powder
- dash of salt
- 4 oz cream cheese
- 8 flour tortillas
- 1 cup cheddar cheese
- 1 cup mozzarella cheese
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 425F. Spray baking sheet with cooking spray or brush with oil. Heat the sheet in the oven while you put together the quesadillas.
- In a medium saucepan, heat chicken, salsa, cumin, onion powder, garlic powder, salt, and cream cheese. Stir until cream cheese is melted and blended into the mixture. Set aside and let cool.
- Once cool, spoon the filling onto half of a tortilla. Continue until the filling has been evenly distributed among the tortillas. Top with a good sprinkling of cheddar and mozzarella cheese. Fold in half and press down.
- Remove the sheet from the oven and carefully place the quesadillas on it, you'll probably hear a slight sizzle while you do this.
- Bake the quesadillas for 5 minutes or until golden brown. Then flip over and bake for another 5 minutes. The quesadillas should be golden and crispy at this point.
- Serve with pico de gallo, guacamole, sour cream or other toppings, if desired.
