Calories 260kcal
Ingredients
- 24 oz Cooked Shredded Chicken*
- 8 oz Shredded Mexican Cheese
- 12 Corn and Flour Tortillas**
Instructions
- Preheat an oven to 375ºF.
- Reheat the shredded chicken (if needed) and mix with 6 oz of the shredded cheese, stirring to melt the cheese.
- Add the tortillas to a large baking sheet lined with a wire rack (for even crispness - flip halfway through cooking if baking without a rack).
- Add 2.5 oz of the chicken and cheese mixture to one half of each tortilla and top with a pinch of the remaining cheese. Fold and gently press to close and seal. Spray the tops of the quesadillas with cooking spray or brush with oil.
- Bake the quesadillas for 20-25 minutes until crispy golden brown.

Notes
*I used H-E-B seasoned shredded chicken. See the post above for homemade shredded chicken recipes and other filling ideas.
**I used H-E-B Mixla corn and flour blended tortillas. If you use corn tortillas, you'll want to wrap in a paper towel and microwave for 45-60 seconds to soften before filling and folding. You may also need to place a second baking sheet on top of the quesadillas for the first 5 minutes in the oven until they've sealed.
