How to Make Rotisserie Chicken Quesadillas

These rotisserie chicken quesadillas have a lot of the same flavors and ingredients as chicken fajitas. But they're even better than fajitas because the ingredients are sandwiched between soft tortillas with plenty of gooey, melted cheese and creamy avocado.

To make these quesadillas, start by sautéing sliced onion and colorful bell peppers in a skillet.

Then, dice or shred up your rotisserie chicken and toss it into the skillet with the vegetables. Stir in some cumin, chili powder, and garlic powder to infuse the mixture with plenty of flavor.

To assemble these rotisserie chicken quesadillas, lay your tortillas on a flat surface. Top one half of each tortilla with the chicken and vegetable mixture, some shredded cheese, and my secret ingredient that makes these quesadillas sooooo good… avocado.

There’s just something about the creamy avocado that’s so irresistible when it combines with the gooey melted cheese.

Plus, because avocados are naturally creamy, you can use a lot less cheese than you typically find in quesadilla recipes. By replacing some of the saturated fat found in cheese with the heart healthy unsaturated fat in avocados, this quesadilla is a healthier choice.

The last step is to fold the tortillas in half and toast them in a skillet (I like to use a cast iron skillet). Cook them for a couple of minutes on each side until the tortillas are golden brown and crispy on the outside and the cheese is melted on the inside.

If you have an air fryer, you can also cook these rotisserie chicken quesadillas in the air fryer. Check out my easy Air Fryer Quesadillas.

To serve these quesadillas, cut them into triangles and arrange them on a platter. Then, grab your your favorite toppings like salsa, sour cream or guacamole. If you're a fan of Chipotle's Roasted Chili Corn Salsa, try my Chipotle corn salsa copycat recipe.

These tasty quesadillas with rotisserie chicken are perfect for a quick weeknight dinner. It's also a great game day dish and can feed a crowd. Serve them to your hungry guests and watch them be devoured!
