Number Of Ingredients 4

2 cups cooked chicken, chopped, shredded
2 cups shredded jalapeno jack cheese (or similar cheese)
8 flour tortillas
butter or margarine

Steps:

  • Heat a frying pan or griddle to medium high heat.

  • Butter 1 side each of two tortillas.
  • Place one tortilla buttered side down on the griddle and quickly sprinkle about 1/2 cup chopped chicken and 1/2 cup shredded cheese all over the tortilla.
  • Place the second tortilla, buttered side up, over the filling.
  • Fry for about a minute or until bottom tortilla begins to brown and cheese begins to melt and stick tortillas together.
  • Using a wide spatula, quickly flip the quesadilla and continue frying until the bottom tortilla is toasted and the filling is hot and bubbily.
  • Continue with each quesadilla. Cut quesadillas into wedges.
  • Serve with sour cream and salsa.
