Chicken Quesadillas

Chicken Quesadillas

EverydayCooked

Chicken quesadillas are a Mexican-inspired dish featuring flour tortillas filled with shredded cooked chicken and melted cheese, typically grilled or pan-fried to achieve a crisp exterior. This protein-rich preparation delivers complete animal protein from the chicken and calcium from the cheese, though fat content varies significantly based on cooking oils and cheese quantities. While often served with salsa or guacamole, the base dish remains adaptable to vegetable additions and alternative tortilla types for dietary customization.
