Chicken Quesadilla Inspired by Taco Bell

Ingredients:

  • 1/2 cup sour cream
  • 1/2 cup mayonnaise
  • 1 tablespoon Tex-Mex seasoning
  • 1 tablespoon pickled jalapeño brine
  • 8 burrito-size flour tortillas
  • 4 cups freshly grated Colby Jack cheese or Mexican blend cheese
  • 2 cups shredded cooked chicken breast

Instructions:

  1. Prepare the Quesadilla Sauce:
    • In a small mixing bowl, combine the sour cream, mayonnaise, Tex-Mex seasoning, and jalapeño brine. Stir until well mixed. This mixture will serve as your flavorful quesadilla sauce.
  2. Assemble the Quesadilla:
    • Lay out one flour tortilla on a microwave-safe plate. Evenly distribute a cup of the grated cheese over the tortilla, followed by ½ cup of the shredded chicken.
    • Drizzle a generous amount of the prepared quesadilla sauce over the chicken and cheese. A good measure is about ¼ cup, but adjust according to your taste. Cover with another flour tortilla to complete the quesadilla.
  3. Microwave the Quesadilla:
    • Wrap the quesadilla lightly in paper towels to help keep the tortilla soft while the cheese melts. Microwave on high for 60 seconds initially. If the cheese isn’t completely melted, continue microwaving in 30-second intervals until it reaches the desired melty goodness.
  4. Serve Immediately:
    • Enjoy your homemade quesadilla while it’s still warm. Slice into wedges and serve with extra sauce, salsa, or your favorite quesadilla accompaniments.
