Instructions: How to Cook Rotel Chicken Quesadilla
- In a large mixing bowl, combine the shredded chicken, Rotel tomatoes, cheddar cheese, Monterey Jack cheese, cilantro, cumin, chili powder, salt, and pepper. Mix well to combine all the ingredients.
- Place a tortilla on a flat surface and spoon a generous amount of the chicken mixture onto one half of the tortilla. Fold the other half over to create a half-moon shape.
- Heat a large skillet over medium heat and add 1 tablespoon of olive oil. Place the quesadilla in the skillet and cook for 2-3 minutes on each side, or until the tortilla is golden brown and the cheese is melted.
- Repeat with the remaining tortillas and chicken mixture, adding more olive oil to the skillet as needed.
- Once all the quesadillas are cooked, remove them from the skillet and let them cool slightly before cutting them into wedges.
- Serve the Rotel Chicken Quesadillas hot with your favorite toppings such as sour cream, guacamole, or salsa.
