Loaded with melty cheese and your choice of fillings, they bake up crispy and golden brown on a single sheet pan.

Ingredients
– 8 large flour tortillas
– 2 cups shredded cheddar cheese
– 1 pound cooked and shredded chicken (or your choice of protein)
– 1 cup diced bell peppers
– 1/2 cup sliced black olives
– 1 tablespoon taco seasoning
– 1/4 cup chopped fresh cilantro
Instructions
1. Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). Line a large baking sheet with parchment paper or a silicone baking mat.
2. Lay the tortillas out on the prepared baking sheet. Sprinkle the shredded cheese evenly over the tortillas, leaving a 1-inch border.
3. In a bowl, mix the cooked chicken, diced bell peppers, sliced black olives, and taco seasoning until well combined.
4. Spread the chicken mixture evenly over the cheese-topped tortillas.
5. Fold the tortillas in half to create half-moon shapes, pressing gently to seal.
6. Bake for 12-15 minutes, or until the tortillas are golden brown and the cheese is melted and bubbly.
7. Remove the baked quesadillas from the oven and sprinkle with the chopped fresh cilantro.
8. Slice each quesadilla into 3-4 wedges and serve immediately with your favorite toppings, such as salsa, guacamole, and sour cream.
Notes
– For vegetarian options, replace the chicken with sautéed mushrooms, roasted vegetables, or black beans.
– Experiment with different cheese blends, such as Monterey Jack or pepper jack, for added flavor.
– Leftovers can be stored in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. Reheat in the oven or a skillet before serving.
