Green Chile Chicken Quesadilla

Red or Green?

We're going to make quesadillas. I start to think about all the different ways to cook with it. Here we are going to make Green Chile Chicken Quesadilla, but this is so versatile it is fun to get creative with the ingredients. Adding green chile to the salsa, instead of jalapenos, just adds another depth of flavor to it all.

Ingredients

1 cups Chicken Shredded
4 Large Flour Tortillas
1 cup NM Green Chile Chopped
2 cups Sharp Cheddar Cheese Shredded
1 tbsp Butter

Instructions

Make sure all your ingredients are prepped and ready to go, because the quesadilla comes together very quickly.
Heat a skillet or large pan on medium to high heat.
Add butter to one side of the tortilla and lay buttered side onto your skillet.
Quickly add cheese evenly to the top of the tortilla, followed by adding the chopped green chile and chicken to one half.
Fold tortilla over and cook for another minute before flipping it over to cook on the other side for another minute.
Remove from the pan and let set for about 2 minutes.
If you try and cut into it right away all the cheese will seep out.
