Ingredients

Scale

2 tablespoons avocado oil

1 pound skinless boneless chicken thighs, chopped into small pieces

1 fourth cup finely chopped yellow onion

1 packet taco seasoning

8 (8 inch) soft tortillas

2 cups shredded creamy mozzarella cheese

3 fourths cup sour cream

3 tablespoons hot honey

2 teaspoons chili powder

1 half lime, juiced

1 fourth teaspoon cayenne pepper

Fresh cilantro leaves

Instructions

1. Preheat the oven to 400 degrees Fahrenheit and line a rimmed baking sheet with foil or parchment paper.

2. In a skillet over medium heat, cook the chopped chicken, onion, and taco seasoning until the chicken is cooked through.

3. Spoon 1 half cup of the chicken mixture onto each tortilla and sprinkle with 1 fourth cup of mozzarella cheese.

4. Fold the tortillas in half and place them on the prepared baking sheet.

5. Brush the tops of the quesadillas with the remaining avocado oil.

6. Bake for 10 to 15 minutes, flipping halfway through, until the edges are golden and crisp.

7. While baking, whisk together the sour cream, hot honey, chili powder, lime juice, and cayenne pepper.

8. Serve the hot quesadillas with the dipping sauce and fresh cilantro.

Notes

Use chicken thighs instead of breasts for a juicier filling.

If the tortillas are stiff, warm them in the microwave for 15 seconds before folding to prevent cracking.

Reheat leftovers in a toaster oven or air fryer to maintain the crispy texture.
