How To Make Taco Bell Chicken Quesadillas

First, we will start with a list of the basic steps you must follow to make this awesome recipe.

Try to cook your quesadilla in a skillet and you can also cover it with a lid. Cook it over low heat and don’t forget to cover it between flipping it.

You can’t even hear the word quesadila without cheese immediately coming to mind. It’s the most important part for me. Our first impulse is to buy a big bag of shredded cheese. Don’t do it. Instead buy a block of cheese and shred some right before you make your quesadilla. Tastes way better, in my opinion!

Ingredients

• Flour Tortillas (4 medium): Serve as the base and outer layer of the quesadilla, holding the filling.
• Chicken Breast (1): The main protein component, providing the quesadilla with its chicken filling.
• Cheddar & Monterey Jack Cheese (1 Cup): These cheeses are used for their melting qualities and flavor. If a mixed bag isn’t available, use ½ cup of each type.
• American Cheese (1 Slice): Adds additional creaminess and a distinct flavor to the quesadilla.

For the Taco Bell Quesadilla Sauce:

• Mayonnaise (1/4 cup): Forms the base of the quesadilla sauce.

• Sugar (2/3 Tsp): Balances the spiciness and acidity in the sauce.
• Cayenne Pepper (1/8 Tsp): Brings additional heat to the sauce.
