Hi Friends! This quick Chicken Green Chili Quesadilla is one of the easiest recipes to put together. Perfect on its own for a weeknight dinner idea, and is a great way to use up leftovers too.
You can make these in about 5 minutes if you have some cooked chicken on hand. You can also use cooked ground beef. Clean up is minimal because I make it all in one pan. You can also make this in your microwave oven.
I used mini flour tortillas, but you can use corn tortillas if you prefer. The result is cheesy goodness.
For a quick snack, I serve it with some salsa and avocado or with a hot soup. These quesadillas only have a few ingredients.
flour tortillas - You can use corn tortillas if you want, but flour tortillas are more meal-sized.
cooked chicken - Use rotisserie chicken on those busy nights and this will be a 10-minute meal.
chopped green chilis - Use a canned version for this. I stock up on these when they are on sale.
Monterey Jack cheese - Monterey jack is a nice mild cheese that always goes great with green chilies.
It is great for a weeknight recipe idea.
You can mix up the meat and use leftover beef or pork in place of the chicken.
