Ingredients
Instructions
-
Prepare the fillingIn 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.
-
Assemble the quesadillasLay 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.
-
Complete the assemblyPlace 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.
-
Cook the quesadillasHeat 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.
-
Slice and serveTransfer 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.
