Description

Delicious and easy crockpot quesadillas filled with cheesy chicken and zesty spices, perfect for any occasion.


Ingredients

Scale
  • 2–3 boneless, skinless chicken breasts
  • 1 cup chicken broth
  • 1 packet taco seasoning
  • 1 can (10 oz) diced tomatoes with green chilies, drained
  • 1 cup queso dip
  • 8 large flour tortillas
  • 2 cups shredded cheese (Cheddar, Monterey Jack, or a mix)
  • Fresh cilantro for garnish (optional)

Instructions

  1. Add the chicken breasts to the crockpot and pour in the chicken broth. Sprinkle the taco seasoning over the top, and then layer the diced tomatoes.
  2. Gently mix everything so the chicken is coated with the spices.
  3. Pour in the queso dip, covering the chicken and tomatoes.
  4. Cover and cook on low for about 240 minutes, or until the chicken shreds easily.
  5. Shred the chicken right in the pot and stir to combine with the cheesy mixture.
  6. Warm the tortillas in a large skillet over medium heat for about 30 seconds on each side until pliable.
  7. Fill each tortilla with a generous portion of the chicken mixture and top with shredded cheese. Fold and cook for a couple of minutes on each side until golden brown and the cheese melts.
  8. Top with chopped cilantro if desired, and serve with guacamole and salsa.

Notes

Leftover quesadillas can be stored in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 3 days. For longer storage, freeze the mixture in a freezer-safe bag for up to 2-3 months. Reheat in a skillet for best results.
