Ingredients
Scale
Filling
- 1 cup cooked chicken, shredded or chopped
- 1/2 cup sliced ham, chopped
- 1 cup Swiss cheese, shredded
Tortillas
- 4 large flour tortillas
Instructions
- Prepare the fillings. Shred or chop the cooked chicken, chop the ham into small pieces, and shred the Swiss cheese if not pre-shredded.
- Assemble quesadillas. Place one tortilla flat on a clean surface. Evenly layer the chicken, ham, and Swiss cheese over half of the tortilla, then fold the other half over to form a half-moon shape.
- Cook quesadillas. Heat a non-stick skillet over medium heat. Place the folded tortilla in the skillet and cook until the bottom is golden and crispy, about 3-4 minutes. Carefully flip and cook the other side until golden and the cheese is melted, another 3-4 minutes.
- Serve. Remove from heat, cut into wedges, and serve warm with optional sides like sour cream, salsa, or guacamole.
Notes
- Use cooked chicken to reduce overall cooking time.
- For extra crispiness, lightly butter the outside of the tortilla before cooking.
- You can substitute Swiss cheese with Gruyère or mozzarella if preferred.
- Ensure the pan is not too hot to avoid burning the tortillas before the cheese melts.
