Baked Chicken Quesadillas

baked chicken quesadillas served with guacamole, fresh pico de Gallo, sour cream and guacamole on a plate
  • Serves:  8
  • Prep Time:  15 min
  • Cook Time:  15 min

Ingredients

  • 4 cups shredded cooked chicken
  • 2 cups sour cream
  • 1 tablespoon chopped chipotle peppers in adobo sauce
  • 2 cups shredded pepper jack or mozzarella cheese
  • Kosher salt
  • 8 to 10 (10-inch) flour tortillas
  • Extra-virgin olive oil, for brushing
  • Guacamole, for serving
  • Salsa or pico de gallo, for serving

Method

  1. Preheat the oven to 425°F with a rack in the center position.
  2. In a large bowl, stir together the chicken, 1½ cups of the sour cream, the chipotle peppers, cheese, and salt to taste.
  3. Line 2 large rimmed sheet pans with parchment paper and grease with cooking spray or brush with olive oil. Working with one tortilla at a time, add ⅓ to ½ cup of the filling to one side of the tortilla and fold in half. Arrange the folded quesadillas on the prepared sheet pans and brush or spray with oil.
  4. Bake until golden brown and crispy, about 15 minutes.
  5. Slice into wedges and serve with the remaining sour cream, guacamole, and salsa or pico de gallo.
