Description

Italian Quesadillas combine the flavors of Italian and Mexican cuisines with chicken, mozzarella, and fresh basil, making a quick and delicious dish.


Ingredients

  • 4 tortillas
  • 16 oz rotisserie chicken (chopped or shredded)
  • 2 TB fresh basil (chopped or chiffonade)
  • 1 cup part-skim mozzarella cheese
  • 1/2 jar Pizza sauce (about 135 grams)


Instructions

  1. Heat a skillet over medium-low heat. Spray with cooking spray or brush olive oil onto the skillet.
  2. Place the tortilla on the skillet and add toppings and cheese to one half.
  3. Cook for a few minutes until cheese is melting and the underside is starting to brown.
  4. Flip the half of the tortilla without toppings onto the one with toppings to make a half-moon shape.
  5. Cook for an additional minute, then flip again until browned to your liking and cheese is melted.
  6. Cut in half or into quarters and serve immediately.

Notes

Serve hot with pizza sauce for dipping. Add salad or fresh veggies for a complete meal. Store leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.
