Instructions
- Prepare the Chicken: Cut the chicken into very small cubes. Season them with all the spices in a bowl.
- Cook the Meat: Heat oil in your large skillet. Fry the chicken until it is golden and cooked.
- Clean the Pan: Wipe the skillet clean with a paper towel. This prevents the spices from burning later.
- Layer the Tortilla: Place one tortilla in the warm skillet. Sprinkle a layer of cheese on one half.
- Add the Filling: Put the cooked chicken over the cheese layer. Add more cheese on top of the chicken.
- Fold and Toast: Fold the tortilla over to make a half-moon. Press down with your spatula for a few seconds.
- Flip Carefully: Cook until the bottom is brown and crispy. Flip it over to toast the other side.
- Slice and Serve: Remove it from the heat. Cut it into three triangles using your knife.
Notes
➜ Use a mix of two cheeses for better flavor.
➜ Do not overfill the tortilla or it will leak.
➜ Cook on medium heat to avoid burning the shell.
➜ Press the quesadilla down to stick everything together.
➜ Use fresh chicken for the best juice and texture.
➜ Slice the chicken very thin for even bites.
➜ Let the meat rest before putting it in tortillas.
➜ Serve it immediately while the cheese is still stretchy.
