Crispy tortillas stuffed with BBQ chicken, hot honey glaze, and melted cheese for a satisfying Tex-Mex meal.
# Ingredient List:
→ Chicken & Sauce
01 - 2 cups cooked chicken, shredded
02 - 1/2 cup BBQ sauce
03 - 2 tablespoons honey
04 - 1 teaspoon hot sauce
05 - Salt and pepper, to taste
→ Vegetables
06 - 1 cup sliced red onions
07 - 1 cup chopped bell peppers
08 - 1 tablespoon olive oil
09 - 1/4 cup chopped fresh cilantro
→ Quesadillas
10 - 1 cup shredded cheddar cheese
11 - 1 cup shredded mozzarella cheese
12 - 4 large flour tortillas
→ For Serving (Optional)
13 - Sour cream
14 - Guacamole
15 - Lime wedges
# Directions:
01 - In a medium bowl, combine the shredded chicken, BBQ sauce, honey, hot sauce, salt, and pepper. Mix thoroughly until the chicken is evenly coated. Set aside to allow flavors to meld while preparing vegetables.
02 - Heat olive oil in a skillet over medium heat. Add sliced red onions and chopped bell peppers. Sauté for approximately 5 minutes, stirring occasionally, until vegetables are softened and lightly browned. Remove from heat and set aside.
03 - Lay a tortilla flat on a clean surface. Sprinkle half of one side with a blend of cheddar and mozzarella cheeses. Layer the BBQ chicken mixture over the cheese, followed by sautéed onions and bell peppers. Top with fresh cilantro.
04 - Fold the tortilla over to create a half-moon shape, firmly pressing the edges to enclose the filling. Ensure the filling is evenly distributed for proper cooking.
05 - Heat a clean skillet or griddle over medium heat. Place the filled tortilla in the skillet and cook for approximately 3 minutes per side. Cook until the tortilla achieves a golden-brown crispiness and the cheese is completely melted.
06 - Remove from the skillet and let cool for 1–2 minutes. This allows the cheese to set slightly. Cut into wedges and repeat the cooking process with remaining tortillas and filling.
07 - Serve warm quesadillas with sour cream, guacamole, and fresh lime wedges if desired.
