Sheet Pan Quesadilla Recipe
Happy Monday beautiful friends! I am so excited to share a new recipe with y’all this week. For episode 6 of my cooking show we will be making a sheet pan quesadilla. The idea for this recipe is an individual quesadilla – except make it large and family friendly! Everyone will still get a delicious quesadilla, but the prep work and cook time is cut wayyyy down when you make it on a sheet pan! For this recipe I’ve included cooking and shredding your own chicken breasts. But if you want to save even more time, you can buy some pre-shredded and pre-cooked chicken!
here’s the sheet pan quesadilla recipe
To make this recipe gluten free/dairy free I will be using some of my faves from Siete Foods.
Sheet Pan Quesadillas
Ingredients
- 8 burrito size tortillas
- 2 chicken breasts
- 1 packet taco seasoning
- 1 jar cashew queso *You can also use regular shredded cheese
- pico, guac, and sour cream for garnishes
Instructions
- Bake your chicken breasts in a 400 oven until internal temp reads 165. Shred and mix with your packet of taco seasoning. Set aside.
- Prepare your sheet pan by spraying with a non stick cooking oil, and then layering 7 tortillas across the bottom, overlapping each other. (You will save one tortilla for the center top layer.)
- Spread a thin layer of queso or shredded cheese on top of tortillas. Add shredded chicken, then another layer of cheese.
- Fold tortillas over and add your last tortilla to seal all ingredients inside.
- Place a second sheet pan on top of the quesadillas and press down firmly.
- Bake for 20 minutes in a 425 oven. (Remove the top sheet pan for the last 5 minutes so the tortillas can get nice and crispy.)
- Allow to cool for a few minutes, then slice and serve!
