Chicken and Cheese Quesadilla

Préparation

1. 1

   Season the chicken

   In a medium bowl, combine the shredded chicken, taco seasoning, salt, and black pepper. Toss until the chicken is evenly coated.

2. 2

   Assemble the quesadillas

   Lay the tortillas flat. Sprinkle a generous layer of cheese on one half of each tortilla. Top the cheese with the seasoned chicken, then add a little more cheese on top before folding the empty half over to close.

3. 3

   Pan-fry to golden perfection

   Heat a large skillet over medium heat and add the softened butter. Place the quesadillas in the skillet and cook for 2 to 3 minutes per side, pressing down gently with a spatula, until the tortillas are golden brown and crispy and the cheese is fully melted.

4. 4

   Rest and slice

   Transfer the cooked quesadillas to a cutting board. Let them rest for 1 minute so the cheese sets, then slice each into three or four wedges.
