Chicken and Veggie Quesadilla Ingredients

Instructions

Step 1

  1. Prepare the Filling

    In a large bowl, combine the shredded chicken, mixed veggies, and a sprinkle of salt and pepper. Mix well to combine.

Step 2

  1. Assemble the Quesadilla

    Place one tortilla on a flat surface and sprinkle half of the cheese on half of the tortilla. Add the chicken and veggie mixture on top of the cheese, leaving a small border around the edges. Fold the tortilla in half to enclose the filling.

Step 3

  1. Cook the Quesadilla

    Heat a large non-stick skillet or griddle over medium heat. Add the olive oil and swirl it around to coat the pan. Place the quesadilla in the pan and cook for 2-3 minutes on each side, or until the tortilla is crispy and the cheese is melted.

Step 4

  1. Serve and Enjoy!

    Cut the quesadilla into wedges and serve hot with your child's favorite toppings, such as salsa, sour cream, or avocado.
