chicken quesadilla

Folded Mexican fowl

A chicken quesadilla is a Mexican or Tex-Mex dish consisting of a flour tortilla filled with chicken and melted cheese, folded in half and grilled or pan-fried until crispy.

Additional fillings like peppers, onions, or beans are common.

Typically served with sour cream, guacamole, or salsa: I'll have the chicken quesadilla with extra cheese.
