Ingredients
3 ounces shredded cooked chicken breast
1 tablespoon minced pickled jalapeño
1 tablespoon minced fresh cilantro leaves
4 ounces shredded pepper Jack cheese
2 flour tortillas
2 tablespoons vegetable oil
Salt
Directions
Combine chicken, jalapeño, cilantro, and pepper Jack in a medium bowl and mix to combine. Spread half of mixture evenly over half of one tortilla, leaving a 1/2-inch border. Fold tortilla over and seal edges by pressing down firmly. Repeat with remaining filling and second tortilla. Heat oil in a 10-inch cast iron or nonstick skillet over medium heat until shimmering. Carefully add both folded tortillas and cook, swirling and moving tortillas around, until golden brown and puffy on first side, about 2 minutes. Using a flexible metal spatula, flip quesadillas, season with salt, and continue cooking until golden brown and puffy on second side, about 2 minutes longer. Transfer quesadillas to a paper towel to drain. Cut into triangles and serve immediately.
