Mushroom Chicken Quesadillas

Mushroom Chicken Quesadillas

Ingredients

  • 1 rotisserie chicken (or other type of cooked chicken / turkey)

  • 2 yellow squash

  • 15-20 flour tortillas

  • 16oz. colby jack or similar shredded cheese

  • 24 oz. mushrooms (sliced)

  • 1 1/2 large sweet onions

  • 3 Tbsp butter, divided

  • 1 Tbsp olive oil, divided

  • Garlic powder, to taste

  • Salt, to taste

  • Pepper, to taste

  • Sour cream / guacamole / Salsa for serving

Instructions

  • Heat up 2 Tbsp. butter in a large frying pan.

  • Dice up mushrooms and onions and add to the pan.

  • Salt and pepper the mix, then saute until done (mixture has cooked down a lot and the onions have almost dissolved - about 20-25mins).

  • Set aside.

  • Slice up squash into strips and pull meat off 1/2 of the chicken (if using whole rotisserie chicken).

  • Add 1/2 tbsp butter and 1 tbsp olive oil to a pan and saute the squash strips until half-done (about 5 mins).

  • Make sure to add salt, pepper and garlic butter to taste.

  • Then add another 1/2 tbsp butter and pulled chicken.

  • Add spices as necessary and saute the whole mixture until the squash strips are fully cooked (~ another 5 mins).

  • On another pan, add small portions of remaining butter and melt on medium heat.

  • Then place a single tortilla to the pan.

  • Fry it briefly on both sides so it becomes golden and set aside.

  • Add another tortilla and repeat the process.

  • When it is flipped, add about 1 Tbsp of mushrooms, 1 Tbsp of squash mixture and 2 Tbsp of shredded cheese.

  • Place the first tortilla on top and heat the whole quesadilla for about 30sec to let the cheese melt.

  • Cut into quarters and serve immediately with sour cream, guacamole or salsa.
