Slow Cooker Chicken Quesadillas: Easy & Flavorful
Ingredients Needed
-
1 (10 ounce) can red enchilada sauce
-
¼ cup water
-
1 (1.25 ounce) package reduced-sodium taco seasoning mix
-
2 skinless, boneless chicken breasts
-
1 (10 ounce) package 8- to 10-inch flour tortillas
-
1 (12 ounce) bag shredded Mexican cheese blend
Cooking Instructions
-
Mix enchilada sauce, water, and taco seasoning in a slow cooker. Slice chicken breasts in half lengthwise and add them to the cooker. Set on Low and cook for 4 to 5 hours, or until the chicken is fully tender.
-
Take the chicken out and shred it with two forks. Return the shredded chicken to the sauce in the slow cooker and stir well to combine.
-
Place some of the chicken mixture onto a tortilla and top with cheese. Add another tortilla on top to form the quesadilla.
-
Heat a large nonstick skillet over medium heat. Add the quesadilla and cook until golden and crispy on both sides, about 2 to 4 minutes, flipping halfway through. Repeat the process with the remaining tortillas, chicken, and cheese.
