Smoked Chicken Quesadillas

Quesadillas are quick and easy, but using smoked chicken elevates them to something special. The smoky meat, melted cheese, and crispy tortilla is an irresistible combination. These are great for using up leftover smoked chicken.

Perfect for quick weeknight dinners, snacks, or casual entertaining. Kids love them. They come together in minutes if you have smoked chicken on hand.

Serve with sour cream, salsa, and guacamole for dipping. A simple salad on the side makes it a meal. They're also great cut into wedges as appetizers for a party.

Add whatever fillings you like - roasted peppers, caramelized onions, different cheeses. Black beans add protein and fiber. Fresh jalapeños add heat. Customize to your taste.

Use a dry skillet or griddle and press lightly for even browning. Flip when the bottom is golden. Let it rest briefly before cutting for cleaner slices. A pizza cutter works great.
