Description
A delicious twist on the classic quesadilla, combining crispy tortillas with rotisserie chicken, cheese, and fresh basil for a satisfying meal.
Ingredients
Scale
- 4 tortillas
- 16 oz rotisserie chicken, chopped or shredded
- 2 tablespoons fresh basil, chopped or chiffonade
- 1 cup part-skim mozzarella cheese
- 1/2 jar pizza sauce (approximately 135 grams)
Instructions
- Heat a skillet over medium-low heat and spray with cooking spray or brush lightly with olive oil.
- Place one tortilla in the skillet and layer toppings on one half: chicken, basil, and mozzarella cheese.
- Cook until the cheese starts melting and the underside is golden brown.
- Fold the tortilla over the toppings to create a half-moon shape.
- Cook for another minute, then flip the quesadilla and cook until both sides are browned and the cheese is melted.
- Cut into halves or quarters and serve immediately with warm pizza sauce for dipping.
Notes
For variety, use different types of cheese or add crushed red pepper for extra kick. Swap chicken for sautéed mushrooms or spinach for a vegetarian option.
