• 1 cup shredded cheddar cheese

• 1/2 cup chopped fresh cilantro

Instructions: How to Cook Rotel Chicken Quesadilla

1. 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.
2. 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.
3. 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.
4. Repeat with the remaining tortillas and chicken mixture, adding more olive oil to the skillet as needed.
5. Once all the quesadillas are cooked, remove them from the skillet and let them cool slightly before cutting them into wedges.
6. Serve the Rotel Chicken Quesadillas hot with your favorite toppings such as sour cream, guacamole, or salsa.
