Yield Serves 4

Number Of Ingredients 6

1 (3-pound) rotisserie chicken, skin removed, meat shredded into bite-sized pieces (3 1/2 cups chicken)
5 ounces coarsely grated Monterey Jack cheese
3/4 teaspoon kosher salt
1/2 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
4 (7-inch) flour tortillas
Hot sauce (optional, for serving)

Steps:

  • Cut 8 (12x16") pieces of heavy-duty foil. Layer 2 pieces of foil on top of each other to create 4 stacks.
  • Place a flour tortilla in the center of each foil stack. Dividing evenly, top one half of each tortilla with chicken and cheese and season with salt and pepper. Fold tortillas in half, then bring edges of foil together to enclose the quesadillas and crimp edges to seal.
