Chicken Quesadilla Recipe
Chicken Quesadillas are a simple dish made of chicken and melted cheese inside a crispy flour tortilla. Today I am going to show you how to take a classic chicken and cheese quesadilla to the next level simply by adding a creamy cheese soup to the filling! (Have you tried this before? It’s AMAZING!!)
I found this cheesy chicken quesadilla recipe when Rob and I were first married. We were starving college students, so any meal that was delicious and affordable was on repeat in our home. We must’ve had quesadillas a few times per month, and this recipe became our very favorite. The cheese soup not only tastes great and adds to the cheesy flavor, it also helps keep the chicken from drying out. Seriously, this easy chicken quesadilla recipe is SO GOOD!
How to Make Chicken Quesadillas
Quesadillas are a ridiculously easy meal: soft tortillas stuffed with delicious cheese plus whatever other ingredients you want, pan fried or grilled until the cheese is melted and the tortilla is crisp.
You can top your chicken quesadillas with sour cream, salsa or guacamole, and in 5 minutes or less, you’ve got an easy lunch, dinner or afternoon snack!
