Step‑by‑Step Instructions
- In a skillet over medium heat, add a splash of oil and season the chicken breasts with salt and pepper. Cook each side for about 5-7 minutes, or until they are golden brown and completely cooked through, reaching an internal temperature of 165°F. Once done, remove the chicken from the skillet and let it rest for a few minutes before shredding it into bite-sized pieces.
- In a large mixing bowl, combine the shredded chicken, taco sauce, shredded cheddar cheese, and Monterey Jack cheese. Stir well until all the ingredients are evenly mixed, creating a flavorful filling for your Taco Bell Chicken Quesadilla.
- Lay one flour tortilla flat on a clean surface. Spoon half of the chicken and cheese mixture onto one side of the tortilla, then fold the other half over it, pressing down gently to seal the quesadilla.
- Heat a small amount of vegetable oil in a clean skillet over medium heat. Carefully place the assembled quesadilla in the skillet and cook for about 3-4 minutes per side, or until the tortilla is golden brown and crispy, and the cheese is melted.
- Once both sides are perfectly toasted and the cheese is ooey-gooey, remove the quesadilla from the skillet and let it cool for a minute. Slice it into wedges for easy serving.
