Ingredients
- •Spinach Artichoke Dip, Prepared(80g)
- •Flour Tortillas
- •Chicken Breast, Grilled(80g)
- •Hot Sauce, Frank'S RedHot
Instructions
- 1Shred or chop the cooked chicken breast into bite-sized pieces.
- 2Spread the spinach artichoke dip evenly over one half of the flour tortilla, leaving a ½-inch border.
- 3Distribute the chicken pieces over the dip, then drizzle with 2–3 dashes of Frank's RedHot Sauce.
- 4Fold the tortilla in half to enclose the filling, pressing gently to seal.
- 5Place a dry skillet over medium heat and let it warm for 1–2 minutes until a drop of water sizzles on contact.
- 6Place the quesadilla in the skillet and cook for 3–4 minutes over medium heat until the tortilla is golden brown and crispy with no pale spots; flip carefully and cook the second side for 2–3 minutes until equally golden brown and the filling is warm throughout.
- 7Transfer the quesadilla to a cutting board and slice into 2–3 wedges using a pizza cutter or sharp knife.
- 8For batch prep: prepare up to 8 quesadillas using this method, keeping cooked ones warm on a sheet pan in a 200°F oven; once all are cooked, divide evenly into 4 airtight containers while still warm, then cool completely before refrigerating.
