Ingredients Method

Ingredients
  

  • 2 cups cooked shredded chicken breast
  • 1/2 cup bold BBQ sauce
  • 2 tablespoons hot honey
  • 4 large flour tortillas
  • 2 cups shredded Monterey Jack cheese
  • 1/4 cup finely diced red onion
  • 2 tablespoons unsalted butter, softened
  • 1/4 cup fresh cilantro, chopped

Method
 

  1. In a medium mixing bowl, combine the shredded chicken, BBQ sauce, and hot honey. Stir until the chicken is thoroughly and evenly coated.
  2. Heat a large non-stick skillet or griddle over medium heat.
  3. Spread approximately 1/2 tablespoon of butter onto one side of each flour tortilla.
  4. Place one tortilla, buttered side down, into the preheated skillet.
  5. Distribute 1/4 cup of cheese over one half of the tortilla. Layer 1/2 cup of the chicken mixture and 1 tablespoon of red onion over the cheese.
  6. Top the filling with an additional 1/4 cup of cheese and fold the tortilla in half to cover the filling.
  7. Cook for 2-3 minutes per side, pressing down lightly with a spatula, until the exterior is golden brown and the cheese is fully melted.
  8. Transfer the quesadilla to a cutting board and allow to rest for 1 minute before slicing into thirds.
  9. Garnish with chopped cilantro and serve immediately with extra hot honey if desired.
