Mini Chicken Quesadillas are crispy, bite-sized tortillas filled with seasoned chicken, melty cheese, and a creamy filling. Perfect for parties, game days, or a quick snack, they’re easy to make and even easier to enjoy with salsa, guacamole, or sour cream.

Ingredients

  • 2 cups cooked chicken (shredded or diced)
  • 1 cup shredded cheddar cheese (or Mexican blend cheese)
  • 1/2 cup cream cheese (softened)
  • 1/2 tsp garlic powder
  • 1/2 tsp onion powder
  • 1/2 tsp ground cumin (optional)
  • Salt and pepper to taste
  • 6 small flour tortillas (soft taco size or mini tortillas)
  • 2 tbsp olive oil or butter (for cooking)
  • Salsa, sour cream, or guacamole (for dipping)

Instructions

  1. If you don’t have cooked chicken, season and cook chicken breasts, then shred or dice. Alternatively, use rotisserie chicken.
  2. Mix the chicken, shredded cheese, cream cheese, garlic powder, onion powder, cumin, salt, and pepper in a medium bowl until combined.
  3. Lay tortillas flat and spoon about 1-2 tbsp of the chicken mixture onto one half of each tortilla. Fold the tortilla in half to form a half-moon shape.
  4. Heat a skillet over medium heat, add oil or butter. Cook quesadillas for 2-3 minutes per side, flipping carefully, until golden brown and crispy.
  5. Remove from skillet and cut into wedges. Serve with salsa, sour cream, or guacamole.

Notes

  • For extra crispy quesadillas, ensure the skillet is hot and use enough oil or butter.
  • Feel free to freeze the assembled quesadillas before cooking, then cook them directly from the freezer when ready.
  • If using larger tortillas, cut them into smaller wedges for easy serving.
