Chicken Sriracha Quesadilla

These sriracha chicken quesadillas are super easy to make. You can grab a rotisserie chicken from the store or it's a great way to use up any leftover chicken you may have.

We love cheese in our house, I mean like a lot! You gotta love that crispy crunch of the fried tortilla with the ooey gooey cheesy chicken filling. Dipped in a little sour cream or guacamole like my Breakfast Quesadilla. Pure heaven! If you're looking for another delicious and easy meal. My Mexican Pizzas is one of my most popular recipes, you have to check it out.

Don’t crank up the heat too high. It’s best to cook a quesadilla over medium heat, as opposed to high. Cooking over medium heat will melt all the cheese filling, without burning the tortillas.
