Quesadillas are so quick and easy to prepare, and this recipe is no exception. Using canned chicken, shredded cheese and prepared salsa ensure great taste and convenience.

Ingredients

  • 1 can (4.5 ounces) Swanson® Premium White Chunk Chicken Breast in Water, drained
  • 1/2 cup shredded Monterey Jack cheese
  • 2 tablespoons chopped green chiles
  • 1/8 teaspoon chili powder
  • 4 (8-inch) flour tortilla, warmed
  • 1/2 cup Pace® Chunky Salsa
  • 1/4 cup sour cream (optional)

Instructions

  • Tips

    • Recipe Note: To make 8 servings, use a 12.5-ounce can of Swanson® Premium White Chunk Chicken Breast in Water and double the remaining ingredients.  Assemble and fold the quesadillas on a work surface.  Place the filled quesadillas onto 2 baking sheets.  Bake as directed above.

  • Step 1

    Heat the oven to 400°F.  Stir the chicken, 1/4 cup cheese, chiles and chili powder in a medium bowl.

  • Step 2

    Place the tortillas onto 2 baking sheets. Spread 1/4 cup chicken mixture onto half of each tortilla to within 1/2-inch of the edge. Brush the edges of the tortillas with water. Fold the tortillas over the filling and press the edges to seal.

  • Step 3

    Bake for 5 minutes or until the filling is hot. Sprinkle with the remaining cheese. Serve with the salsa and sour cream, if desired.
