Basic Chicken Quesadilla

Ingredients

• Monterey cheese

  Includes Pepper Jack

  1 cup, shredded or 113g

• Cheddar cheese

  1 cup, shredded or 113g

• Fresh cilantro

  Coriander leaves, raw

  1 sprigs or 2g

• Tortillas

  Flour

  4 tortilla, medium or 184g

• Chicken breast

  Broilers or fryers, meat only, raw

  2 breast fillet or 236g

Directions

1. Cook and shred the chicken beforehand if possible. Combine the Monterey and Cheddar cheeses in a medium bowl.
2. Heat a large frying pan over medium heat for about 3 minutes. Place a tortilla in the pan and sprinkle with half of the chicken, cilantro, and cheese mixture. Top with a second tortilla and cook until the bottom tortilla is golden brown and the cheese is partially melted, about 3 minutes. Carefully flip the quesadilla and cook until the second tortilla is crisp and the cheese is fully melted, about 2 to 3 minutes more.
3. Slide the quesadilla onto a cutting board and cut into wedges. Repeat with the remaining ingredients to make a second quesadilla. Serve with guacamole, salsa, and sour cream, if desired.
