Ingredients
Instructions
-
In a mixing bowl, combine the shredded chicken with the barbeque sauce, tossing to coat the chicken evenly in the sauce. Set aside.
-
Lay out 2 tortillas and divide the shredded cheddar cheese evenly between them, spreading it out in a single layer over each tortilla.
-
Top the cheese on each tortilla with half of the barbeque chicken mixture, spreading it out evenly.
-
Add a layer of thinly sliced red onion on top of the chicken, distributing it evenly.
-
Sprinkle chopped fresh cilantro over the red onion on both tortillas.
-
Place the remaining 2 tortillas on top of each filled tortilla to create 2 quesadillas.
-
In a large skillet, melt 1 tablespoon of butter over medium heat. Carefully transfer one of the quesadillas to the skillet and cook for 2-3 minutes on each side, or until the tortilla is golden brown and the cheese is melted.
-
Remove the cooked quesadilla from the skillet and repeat the process with the remaining quesadilla, using the remaining butter.
-
Once both quesadillas are cooked, transfer them to a cutting board and let them rest for a minute before cutting them into wedges.
-
Serve the Barbeque Chicken Quesadillas warm with additional barbeque sauce, sour cream, or guacamole on the side for dipping.
