Chicken Quesadillas

Chicken Quesadillas
Julia Gartland for The New York Times. Food Stylist: Samantha Seneviratne.

Recipe by Ali Slagle | Total time: 10 minutes

Ever the reliable 10-minute snack or meal, chicken quesadillas are not hard to make, but a few pointers ensure they’re as gooey, crispy and delicious as possible: Start with cool, shredded chicken so it doesn’t make the tortilla soggy. Toss the chicken and cheese together for even distribution, and add a smidgen of chili powder to the filling for spunk. Cook the quesadilla over moderate heat, so the cheese melts just as the tortilla’s toasted.
