Easy Chicken Quesadilla Recipe

Ingredients

• 2 hatch chilies
• 4 tbsp olive oil (divided)
• 2 cups shredded rotisserie chicken
• 1 1/2 tsp chili powder
• 1/4 tsp salt or to taste
• 1/4 cup cilantro (chopped)
• 1/2 cup corn
• 2 cups shredded Mexican cheese (divided)
• 8 flour tortillas
• Sour cream (optional for topping)

Instructions

1. 1

   Fire up the grill on medium high. Once it's hot, rub 1 tbsp olive oil over each chili pepper and place it on the grill. Turn once after 4 minutes. Then grill for an additional 3 minutes.

2. 2

   Remove the hatch chilies from the grill. Then peel the skin and discard the seeds. Using a sharp knife, finely chop the 2 peeled chilies.

3. 3

   In a pan, heat the remaining 2 tbsp olive oil over medium heat. Add the shredded chicken, chili powder, salt, chopped cilantro, corn, and 1 cup shredded cheese. Stir for a few minutes or until well combined and the cheese is melted.

4. 4

   Spread 1/4 of the chicken filling on a flour tortilla and sprinkle and additional 1/4 cup shredded cheese on top. Grease a separate pan with a tiny bit of olive oil and place the tortilla on it. Then place another flour tortilla on top. Cook both sides of the quesadilla on medium heat until golden brown. About 1-2 minutes per side. Serve hot with sour cream and/or salsa.
