Ingredients

• 2 pieces flour tortillas
• 1 cup shredded cheddar cheese
• 1 cup cooked chicken, shredded
• 2 tablespoons sour cream
• 2 tablespoons salsa
• 1 tablespoon olive oil
• 2 teaspoons chopped fresh cilantro
• 1 teaspoon ground cumin
• 0.5 teaspoon salt
• 0.25 teaspoon black pepper

Directions

Step 1

Preheat a large skillet over medium heat.

Step 2

In a small bowl, combine the shredded chicken, ground cumin, salt, and black pepper. Mix well to evenly coat the chicken with the seasonings.

Step 3

Brush one side of each flour tortilla with olive oil.

Step 4

Place one tortilla, oiled side down, in the skillet. Sprinkle half of the shredded cheddar cheese evenly over the tortilla.

Step 5

Add the seasoned shredded chicken evenly over the cheese layer.

Step 6

Sprinkle the remaining shredded cheddar cheese over the chicken layer, then place the second tortilla on top, oiled side up.

Step 7

Cook the quesadilla for 3-4 minutes, pressing gently with a spatula, until the bottom tortilla is golden brown and the cheese begins to melt.

Step 8

Carefully flip the quesadilla and cook the other side for another 3-4 minutes, until golden brown and the cheese is fully melted.

Step 9

Remove the quesadilla from the skillet and let it rest for 1 minute before cutting into quarters.

Step 10

Serve hot with a dollop of sour cream, a spoonful of salsa, and a garnish of fresh cilantro.
