Instructions
- Add the chicken to a bowl. Open the can of enchilada sauce and pour some over the chicken. I used not quite half the can. (Keep in mind you need the rest for dipping, so don't go crazy.) Stir the chicken to coat.
- Let the mixture sit for a few minutes so that the sauce has a chance to get friendly with the chicken.
- Meanwhile, heat a large skillet over medium heat.
- Add 1 teaspoon butter to the pan. Or don't. It's delicious to use butter, but you will still get a nice crispy quesadilla on a dry pan.
- Place one tortilla on the hot pan and immediately sprinkle with cheese. Anywhere between 1/4 and 1/2 cup is fine.
- Use a spoon to add some of the chicken on top of the cheese. Spread evenly. Sprinkle on some chopped cilantro if you want.
- Sprinkle with more cheese, 1/4 to 1/2 cup, depending on how much of a cheese fanatic you are.
- Top with another tortilla.
- Continue cooking over medium heat until the bottom is light brown and crispy. Use a spatula to flip the quesadilla, and repeat on the other side.
- Repeat with the remaining ingredients.
- Serve with the remaining enchilada sauce for dipping. You can heat it up in the microwave if you want, or serve room temperature.
- Serve with chopped cilantro and sliced avocado.
