Chicken Quesadilla Triangles

Print Recipe

Crispy and cheesy chicken quesadilla triangles are a quick and delicious snack or appetizer made with shredded chicken, melted cheese, and warm tortillas, perfect for dipping in salsa or sour cream.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 2 cups cooked shredded chicken
  • 1 1/2 cups shredded cheddar cheese
  • 1/2 cup shredded Monterey Jack cheese
  • 1/4 cup chopped green onions
  • 1/4 cup chopped cilantro (optional)
  • 1/2 teaspoon ground cumin
  • 1/2 teaspoon chili powder
  • Salt and pepper to taste
  • 4 large flour tortillas
  • 1 tablespoon vegetable oil or butter (for cooking)

Instructions

  1. In a large bowl, combine shredded chicken, cheddar cheese, Monterey Jack cheese, green onions, cilantro (if using), cumin, chili powder, salt, and pepper.
  2. Lay out the flour tortillas and evenly spread the chicken mixture on half of each tortilla. Fold each tortilla in half to cover the filling.
  3. Heat oil or butter in a large skillet over medium heat. Place one folded tortilla in the skillet and cook for 2–3 minutes on each side, or until golden brown and cheese is melted. Repeat with remaining tortillas.
  4. Remove quesadillas from the skillet and let them rest for 1 minute before slicing each into triangles.
  5. Serve warm with salsa, sour cream, or guacamole if desired.

Notes

  • Rotisserie chicken works well for this recipe.
  • For a spicier version, add diced jalapeños or hot sauce to the filling.
  • You can bake or air-fry the quesadillas instead of pan-frying.
