2 large flour tortillas
200 g cooked chicken, shredded or finely chopped
120 g grated Cheddar, Monterey Jack or other melting cheese
1/2 tsp smoked paprika
1/4 tsp garlic powder
Salt and black pepper, to taste
2 tsp neutral oil, divided

Method

8 steps

Place the cooked chicken in a bowl and season it with the smoked paprika, garlic powder, salt and black pepper.
Lay the tortillas flat and scatter the grated cheese over one half of each tortilla.
Divide the seasoned chicken between the tortillas, arranging it evenly over the cheese. Fold the empty halves over the filling and press gently.
Heat 1 teaspoon oil in a large skillet over medium heat.
Add one folded quesadilla and cook for 2 to 3 minutes, pressing it gently with a spatula, until the underside is crisp and golden.
Turn carefully and cook for another 2 to 3 minutes until the second side is golden and the cheese has melted.
Transfer the cooked quesadilla to a board. Repeat with the remaining oil and quesadilla.
Rest for 1 minute, then cut each quesadilla into wedges and serve while hot.

Additional tips

Contains wheat, gluten and milk. Ensure any freshly cooked chicken reaches a safe internal temperature of at least 75°C before assembling the quesadillas.
