Ingredients
- 4 8” flour tortillas
- 1 cup freshly shredded sharp cheddar, divided
- 1 cup freshly shredded Colby Jack, divided
- 4 ounces cooked chicken – sliced or shredded
- ~2 Tablespoons Olive oil
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 425°F.
- In a bowl, mix the cheeses; set aside.
- To one half of a flour tortilla, add 1-2 Tablespoons of the cheeses, followed by a few slices of the chicken, and add a tablespoon or two of cheese. Fold to close. Repeat this process until all four tortillas are prepared.
- Brush a rimmed half sheet pan with 1 Tablespoon of olive oil and place the folded tortillas on the pan. Brush the tops of each quesadilla with the remaining olive oil. Place the pan into the oven and bake for 8 minutes.
- Remove the pan from the oven, carefully flip each quesadilla over, and sprinkle the remaining cheese over the top. Place the pan back into the oven and bake for an additional 7-9 minutes or until the cheese is melted and the quesadilla is crispy.
- Immediately remove from the pan and plate, then enjoy. Store any leftovers in a covered dish in the fridge.
