Steps

Read instructions and get ready to cook

1
Cook the chicken

In a large skillet, cook the chicken breasts over medium heat until cooked through, about 6-8 minutes per side. Remove the chicken from the skillet and shred it using two forks.

2
Prepare the sauce

Finely chop the onion and mince the garlic cloves. In the same skillet, sauté the onion and garlic until softened, about 5 minutes. Finely chop the chipotle peppers and add them to the skillet along with the tomato sauce, oregano, cumin, salt, and black pepper. Simmer the sauce for 5 minutes.

3
Add the chicken

Add the shredded chicken to the skillet with the sauce and stir to coat. Simmer for an additional 5 minutes, or until the chicken is heated through.

4
Preheat the oven

Preheat the oven to 425°F (220°C). Line a large baking sheet with parchment paper.

5
Assemble the quesadilla

Place one large flour tortilla on the prepared baking sheet. Spread the chicken tinga mixture evenly over the tortilla, leaving a 1/2-inch border around the edges. Sprinkle the shredded Monterey Jack and cheddar cheeses over the chicken. Place the second tortilla on top and press down gently.

6
Bake the quesadilla

Bake the chicken tinga sheet pan quesadilla for 15-20 minutes, or until the tortillas are crispy and golden brown, and the cheese is melted.

7
Serve

Remove the quesadilla from the oven and let it cool for 5 minutes. Using a pizza cutter or sharp knife, cut the quesadilla into 6 wedges. Serve hot, garnished with your favorite toppings, such as sour cream, salsa, or guacamole. Enjoy the delicious combination of flavors and textures in this easy and satisfying sheet pan meal!
