- 8 large flour tortillas
- 3 cups cooked chicken, shredded
- 1 cup sour cream
- 2 tbsp Taco seasoning
- 4 cups Fiesta blend cheese, shredded
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 400° and line a large sheet pan with parchment paper or a silicone baking mat like this. (See recipe notes for cooking the chicken or using a Rotisserie chicken.)
- Melt the butter in the microwave in a small bowl. Brush the parchment paper or liner with half of the melted butter. Now place the tortillas on the baking sheet.
- In a large bowl, mix together the shredded chicken, sour cream, taco seasoning, and 3 cups of cheese.
- Scoop a portion of the chicken mixture onto one half of each tortilla. Then add a sprinkle of cheese on top and fold the other half of the tortilla over top of the chicken filling.
- Brush the top of the closed quesadillas with the remaining melted butter.
- Place in the baking sheet into the oven and bake for 10 minutes then remove from the oven and carefully flip each tortilla over. Return to oven and bake another 10 minutes or until the tortillas are golden brown. Serve and enjoy!
Notes
Cook the chicken using this easy Crockpot recipe with only two ingredients. Substitute Taco seasoning packets for the Ranch mix.
You can use Rotisserie chicken from the Deli at the grocery store if you are short on time. If using shredded Rotisserie chicken for this recipe, toss the shredded chicken with the Taco seasoning until well blended.
