Servings: 4 servings
Ingredients
- 1 teaspoon Olive oil
- ½ cup sliced red onions
- 2 cups cooked chicken breast shredded into big chunks
- 1/2 cup bbq sauce
- 2 tortillas 10-12 inch burrito size
- 2 tablespoons Butter room temperature
- 2 cups shredded cheddar-jack cheese
- Optional for serving: cilantro, sour cream, guacamole, salsa, ranch dip
Instructions
- Heat a large skillet over medium heat and add the olive oil and onions. Cook onions until soft; about 5 minutes. Add shredded chicken and bbq sauce. Stir to combine and remove from heat.
- Spread butter onto one side of each tortilla.
- Heat another skillet over medium heat and add one tortilla, butter side down. Sprinkle ¼ cup of the cheese on one half of the tortilla, then layer half of the chicken mixture and another ¼ cup of cheese. Fold the tortilla in half, and cook until golden on the bottom. Carefully use a flat spatula to flip the quesadilla over and cook the other side until golden. Gently press down to cook evenly.
