Instructions
Creating flavorful Loaded BBQ Chicken Quesadillas can be accomplished by following these simple steps:
1. Preheat the Pan: Heat a large skillet over medium heat and add 1 tablespoon of olive oil.
2. Prepare Chicken Mixture: In a mixing bowl, combine shredded chicken and barbecue sauce. Stir until chicken is evenly coated.
3. Sauté Vegetables: In the heated skillet, add sliced bell pepper and red onion. Sauté for about 2-3 minutes until they are slightly softened.
4. Mix Corn: Add corn to the skillet and continue to cook for another 1-2 minutes until heated through.
5. Assemble Quesadillas: Take a tortilla and layer half of it with the barbecue chicken mixture, sautéed vegetables, and a mix of shredded cheddar and mozzarella cheese. Fold the other half over to create a half-moon shape.
6. Cook Quesadillas: Place the quesadilla in the skillet and cook for 3-4 minutes on one side until it turns golden brown and the cheese begins to melt. Carefully flip and cook the other side for another 3-4 minutes.
7. Repeat Process: Remove the cooked quesadilla from the skillet and keep warm. Repeat the process with the remaining tortillas and filling.
8. Slice Quesadillas: Once all quesadillas are cooked, use a pizza cutter or sharp knife to slice them into wedges.
9. Garnish and Serve: Arrange the quesadilla wedges on a serving platter, garnishing with chopped cilantro, and serve them warm with sour cream or guacamole on the side.
