Cheesy Chicken Quesadilla Recipe

March 29, 2012 · by ·

On Tuesdays I normally make Tacos. I know it isn’t much of a tradition, but we have our weekly Taco Tuesday night that is followed by ice cream for dessert. Last night I put a little twist on dinner. Instead of Tacos, I made some YUMMY Cheesy Chicken Quesadilla’s that feature both the VELVEETA® and RO*TEL® products. If you have been following along, the last 5 months I have been making a recipe each month that include those two products. Even though my campaign is coming to an end, I will still be using the VELVEETA® and RO*TEL® products in my recipes that I love making for my family.

Ingredients
  • 1 pound chicken – boiled & shredded
  • 12 oz VELVEETA® cheese – cubed
  • ½ cup Pepperjack cheese – shredded
  • 1 can RO*TEL® Diced Tomatoes & Green Chilies
  • 12 tortillas – soft taco size

Instructions
  1. Using a quesadilla maker, place a tortilla on burner and add chicken, cheeses and tomatoes. Add filling to center and leave at least 1″ around ends because the cheese melts and will run.
  2. Cook for 2-3 minutes until quesadilla is golden brown and edges are sealed. Remove and cut.
  3. If you don’t have a quesadilla maker, put filling on one half on tortilla and fold over. Then cook on skillet over medium heat on each side for about 2 minutes.
  4. Serve with sour cream or guacamole!

You know I LOVE taking photos. Here are more photos of my quesadillas.

Here is the beginning. Adding the yummy ingredients.

Once they were done, I had to smother them in some guacamole with a little sour cream.

The ingredients that made these super yummy!

  3. Add ½ cup marinara sauce to 13×9 baking dish and spread evenly.
  4. In a medium bowl, add egg, Ricotta cheese, Parmesan cheese and 2 cups of the Mozzarella cheese. Stir until blended.
