Sizzling Chicken and Cheese Quesadillas

Instructions

  1. 1

    In a large skillet, combine the shredded chicken, salsa, green onions, cumin, salt, and oregano. Cook over medium heat, stirring occasionally, until heated through, about 10 minutes.

  2. 2

    Brush one side of each tortilla with the melted butter. Place the tortillas, buttered side down, on a lightly greased baking sheet. Spoon 1/3 cup of the chicken mixture onto half of each tortilla, then sprinkle with 1/3 cup of the shredded cheese.

  3. 3

    Fold the plain side of each tortilla over the filling and cheese. Bake at 375°F until the tortillas are crisp and golden brown, about 9-11 minutes. Cut the quesadillas into wedges and serve with sour cream and guacamole.
