Jalapeño Verde Chicken Quesadillas

Origin:

These Jalapeño Verde Chicken Quesadillas are a Mexican-inspired dish that balances the richness of melted cheese and juicy chicken with the zesty heat of Sauce Pantry's Jalapeño Verde Sauce. It’s the perfect quick meal for lunch or dinner, packed with flavor and texture.

Pro Tips:

• Crispier Quesadillas: To get your quesadillas extra crispy, cook them on a medium-high heat with just a light brushing of oil.
• Pre-Cooked Chicken: Using leftover or rotisserie chicken saves time and adds extra flavor.

Things to Watch Out For:

• Avoid Overfilling: Don’t overstuff the quesadillas with chicken and cheese, as it may make them difficult to flip or cause them to fall apart.
• Melting the Cheese: Make sure to cook on low to medium heat so the cheese melts fully without burning the tortilla.

Process:

1. Prepare the Chicken:

   • Shred or slice your cooked chicken and season it lightly with salt and pepper.

2. Assemble the Quesadillas:

   • Lay a tortilla flat and sprinkle a layer of shredded cheese over half. Add the shredded chicken and drizzle with Sauce Pantry Jalapeño Verde Sauce. Fold the tortilla in half to close.

3. Cook the Quesadillas:

   • Heat a skillet over medium heat and lightly brush it with olive oil. Cook each quesadilla for 2-3 minutes per side, or until the tortilla is golden and crispy and the cheese is melted.

4. Serve:

   • Slice the quesadillas into wedges and serve with sour cream, guacamole, or extra Jalapeño Verde Sauce on the side.
