Ingredients

3 tablespoons salted butter, melted

8 burrito-size flour tortillas 

4 cups shredded Cheddar cheese 

4 cups shredded rotisserie chicken 

1 teaspoon taco seasoning 

One 4-ounce can diced green chiles, drained 

1 cup frozen corn, thawed 

1/2 cup sliced black olives 

1/2 cup salsa 

Serving suggestions: 1 avocado, diced, sour cream, 1 lime, cut into eighths and several sprigs fresh cilantro

Directions

  1. Preheat the oven to 450 degrees F. Brush a half sheet pan or rimmed cookie sheet with half of the butter.
  2. Arrange 2 tortillas along the longest side of the sheet pan with half hanging over the rim; repeat with the other long side of the pan. Place one tortilla, also half hanging over, at each end. Place 1 tortilla in the center so the whole bottom of the sheet pan is covered.
  3. Sprinkle evenly with half of the shredded cheese, all of the chicken, taco seasoning, chiles, corn and olives. Place spoonfuls of the salsa over the top and spread evenly. Top with the remaining cheese.
  4. Place 1 tortilla in the center of the pan, on top of the filling, and then fold up the overhanging tortillas so that the filling is completely covered. Brush with the remaining butter, top with another sheet pan and press down firmly.
  5. Bake until the tortillas are crispy and the inside is melted and hot, 20 to 25 minutes.
  6. Carefully remove the top sheet pan. Slice the quesadilla into squares and serve with avocado, sour cream, lime and cilantro.

Super tasty and easy!!! I browned a lb of ground beef in a pan with taco seasoning and a yellow pepper before assembling. We omitted the olives and used taco sauce instead of salsa and it’s amazing. This is so versatile, you could really make anything with this. I used Pam on the bottom pan, butter to seal the tortillas on top and it was perfectly crispy. We’ve made this several times over, using scrambled eggs, shredded pork, sausage… possibilities are endless
