Description
Taco Bell Chicken Quesadilla Recipe is cheesy, crispy, and filled with juicy seasoned chicken. The tortilla turns golden on the outside while the inside melts into a soft, rich, and satisfying bite.
Ingredients
2 large chicken breasts, cooked and sliced
4 large tortillas
1 1/2 cups shredded cheese
2 tablespoons olive oil
1 teaspoon garlic powder
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/2 teaspoon black pepper
Instructions
1. If the chicken is not cooked, heat a pan with olive oil and cook chicken breasts with garlic powder, salt, and black pepper until fully done, then let rest before slicing.
2. Lay tortillas flat and prepare ingredients for assembly.
3. Place a layer of shredded cheese on one half of each tortilla.
4. Add sliced chicken evenly over the cheese, then top with another light layer of cheese.
5. Fold the tortilla in half to form a half-moon shape.
6. Heat a pan over medium heat and cook each quesadilla for a few minutes per side until golden and the cheese is melted.
7. Remove from pan, let rest briefly, then slice and serve.
Notes
Use medium heat to avoid burning the tortilla before cheese melts.
Layer cheese under and over chicken for better structure.
Let quesadilla rest briefly before slicing to keep filling intact.
