A delightful twist on classic quesadillas, combining BBQ chicken with gooey cheese and a hint of spice.
Preheat your oven to 450°F (230°C).
Preheating ensures even cooking and a crispy texture.
Place one tortilla on a baking sheet.
Using a baking sheet prevents mess and ensures easy handling.
Spread a tablespoon of mild green chilies evenly over the tortilla.
Distribute the chilies evenly for consistent flavor in every bite.
Top with a quarter of the BBQ chicken and shredded cheddar cheese.
Layering the chicken and cheese ensures a balanced filling.
Place another tortilla on top to form a quesadilla.
Press gently to secure the filling.
Repeat the process to make four quesadillas.
Prepare all quesadillas before baking for efficiency.
Bake in the preheated oven for 8 minutes or until crispy and the cheese is melted.
Keep an eye on the quesadillas to prevent over-browning.
Remove from the oven and let them cool for 5 minutes.
Cooling slightly makes them easier to cut and serve.
Cut each quesadilla into quarters.
Use a sharp knife for clean cuts.
Garnish with fresh cilantro, salsa, and sour cream before serving.
Serve immediately for the best taste and texture.
