Ingredients

  • 6 large flour tortillas

  4. Lay tortillas overlapping on the sheet pan, letting edges hang over the sides.

  6. Fold over the tortilla edges to cover the filling.
  7. Place another sheet pan on top to press down lightly (optional for crispiness).

Notes

  • Use rotisserie chicken for faster preparation.
  • Do not overfill to keep quesadillas crisp and easy to slice.
  • Cheese helps bind everything together.
  • Can add jalapeños for extra heat.
  • Let rest before cutting for cleaner slices.
  • Great for meal prep and reheats well in the oven or air fryer.
