Instructions

  1. Prepare the filling
    In a medium bowl, combine the shredded chicken with the butter chicken sauce and garam masala. Mix well to ensure the chicken is evenly coated. Warm the mixture in a skillet over medium heat for about 5 minutes until heated through.
  2. Assemble the quesadillas
    Lay out 4 tortillas on a clean surface. Distribute the chicken mixture evenly among them. Top with red onion slices, diced green pepper, and fresh cilantro. Sprinkle each with 1/4 cup of shredded mozzarella cheese.
  3. Complete the assembly
    Place the remaining 4 tortillas on top of the filled ones, pressing down gently to seal. The cheese will help hold everything together when it melts.
  4. Cook the quesadillas
    Heat a large skillet over medium heat. Add 1/2 tablespoon of butter to the pan. Once melted, add one quesadilla and cook for 2-3 minutes per side until golden brown and crispy, and the cheese has melted. Repeat with the remaining quesadillas, adding more butter as needed.
  5. Slice and serve
    Transfer each quesadilla to a cutting board and let rest for 1 minute. Cut into quarters using a sharp knife or pizza cutter. Serve hot with a dollop of Greek yogurt on the side and lime wedges for squeezing over the top.
