A meal using stuffed tortilla wraps has always been my go to for a quick dinner. These Sheet Pan Chicken Quesadillas are even better though because, no standing over a hot frying pan. Such a win when trying to juggle homework and a load of washing right?!
You can use whatever fillings you fancy for these, I just always try to include a good dose of cheese as it sticks them together!
Crunchy, crispy, golden on the outside, chock full of tasty stuff inside. Hope these make it onto your meal plan rotation.
You’ll love this recipe because:
✅ Prepped in 5 minutes.
✅ Includes 2 portions of vegetables.
✅ Also makes great lunch leftovers!
FAQs about Chicken Quesadillas
Are these quesadillas spicy?
Nope, just nicely.. Warm?! You can adjust the spice and add more paprika or chilli powder if you’d like them hotter.
What type of salsa should I use?
I like the fresh type from the supermarket fridge as it has less additives than the jars on the shelves. Any is fine really though.
What can I serve with these quesadillas?
I serve them as a complete meal as they include fat, protein and carbs. I serve some of the salsa on the side for dipping and I often serve sour cream or yoghurt with them too.
You could of course add nachos or potato wedges if you fancy.
Can I reheat these quesadillas?
Sure, you can reheat them in the microwave or in a frying pan. Just be sure they are hot through before serving.
If using a microwave, they may go a little floppy and no longer crispy, but they will still taste good!

Notes
I bought 2 chicken breast and roasted them until cooked through, then cooled and chopped into chunks. You could use ready cooked chicken if you prefer.

I made these this evening and they were quick and easy to make, as well as delicious! They were quite thick though rather than flat, so I think I’ll use a bigger tray next time.. thank you.
