Ingredients

Scale

Proteins

  • 1 cup cooked chicken, shredded or chopped
  • 1/2 cup sliced ham, chopped

Dairy

  • 1 cup Swiss cheese, shredded

Others

  • 4 large flour tortillas
  • Butter or oil, for cooking (about 1-2 tablespoons)

Instructions

  1. Prepare the fillings: Ensure the chicken is cooked through and shredded or chopped into bite-sized pieces. Chop the ham into small slices or chunks. Grate or shred the Swiss cheese if not pre-shredded.
  2. Assemble the quesadillas: Place a tortilla on a clean surface. Evenly layer shredded chicken, chopped ham, and Swiss cheese on half of the tortilla. Fold the other half over to create a half-moon shape, pressing gently to seal.
  3. Heat the pan: Preheat a large skillet or non-stick pan over medium heat. Add a small amount of butter or oil to lightly coat the surface, ensuring even browning and crispiness.
  4. Cook the quesadillas: Place the assembled quesadilla in the skillet. Cook for about 3-4 minutes on one side, or until the tortilla is golden brown and crispy. Carefully flip it over and cook the other side for an additional 3-4 minutes, until the cheese is melted and the fillings are heated through.
  5. Serve: Remove from the skillet and let it cool for a minute. Cut into wedges and serve warm. Optionally, accompany with dipping sauces like mustard or ranch dressing.

Notes

  • You can substitute Swiss cheese with Gruyère for a nuttier flavor.
  • Use leftover cooked chicken or rotisserie chicken to save time.
  • For extra crispiness, lightly brush the tortilla with butter or oil before assembling.
  • Serve with a side salad or fresh veggies to add a healthy balance.
