These Mini Chicken Quesadillas are the perfect bite-sized appetizer or snack, made with shredded rotisserie chicken, gooey cheese, and a crispy tortilla shell, ready in just 30 minutes.

Ingredients

  • 2 cups shredded rotisserie chicken
  • 1 cup shredded Monterey Jack cheese
  • 1 cup shredded cheddar cheese
  • 1/2 cup salsa
  • 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon onion powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon ground cumin
  • 1/2 teaspoon chili powder
  • Salt and freshly ground black pepper, to taste
  • 10 (6-inch) flour tortillas
  • 2 tablespoons canola oil, divided
  • 2 tablespoons chopped fresh cilantro leaves (optional)

Instructions

  1. In a large bowl, combine shredded chicken, Monterey Jack, cheddar, salsa, garlic powder, onion powder, cumin, chili powder, salt, and pepper. Mix until well combined.
  2. Heat a large skillet over medium heat and lightly oil it with 1 tablespoon canola oil.
  3. Working one at a time, place tortilla on a work surface. Spoon about 2 tablespoons of chicken mixture onto half of each tortilla and fold over to create a half-moon shape.
  4. Add quesadillas to the skillet, working in batches as needed, and cook until golden brown and the cheese is melted, about 2-3 minutes per side.
  5. Repeat with remaining quesadillas, adding more oil as needed.
  6. Serve immediately, garnished with chopped cilantro if desired.

Notes

  • Rotisserie chicken saves time, but you can also use any cooked, shredded chicken.
  • Swap cheeses or add jalapeños for extra spice.
  • Keep warm in the oven at 200°F if serving a crowd.
