    Crispy chicken quesadillas with melted cheese, guacamole, salsa and sour cream

    Chicken quesadillas are the Tex-Mex appetizer that feeds a family — flour tortillas griddled golden around seasoned chicken and plenty of melty cheese. Cut into wedges and served with salsa and sour cream, they disappear fast.

    The golden, cheesy griddle classic

    Flour tortillas griddled golden around seasoned chicken and melted cheese — quesadillas, the Tex-Mex favorite.

    Step by stepInstructions

    1. Toss the chicken with the chili powder, cumin, garlic powder, salt, and lime juice.
    2. Heat a griddle or skillet over medium heat and brush with butter or oil.
    3. Place a tortilla in the pan, scatter with cheese, chicken, and green onion, then top with a second tortilla.
    4. Cook 2-3 minutes per side until golden and the cheese melts. Repeat with the remaining tortillas.
    5. Cut into wedges and serve with the toppings.

    💡 Chef tips & storage

    Use medium heat so the cheese melts before the tortilla burns. Press down gently with a spatula for a golden, even crust.
