We originally tried this Sheet-Pan Chicken Quesadilla recipe from My Food and Family’s Spring 2020 magazine, and honestly, I’m still thinking about it right now. This recipe seriously came together in just minutes using quick, inexpensive ingredients. And because it was so fast to make, it meant we got to spend even more time around the table talking about each other’s days instead of waiting for dinner to cook!

All you need for this recipe is tortillas, 1 package of KRAFT Cheddar & Asadero Cheese, shredded rotisserie chicken, canned pinto beans, frozen corn, chopped tomatoes, green onions, KNUDSEN sour cream, and KRAFT Chipotle Aioli.

How to Make a Quesadilla

To make the quesadillas, place 6 tortillas around the sides of a rectangle sheet-pan, with edges overlapping and the outer edges extending over the sides of the pan. Cover the opening in the center of the pan with 1 of the remaining tortillas. Sprinkle half of the cheese over the tortillas and top with chicken, beans, corn, tomatoes, and green onions.

Making a Sheet-Pan Quesadilla

Top the filling with the rest of the cheese, and then place the remaining tortillas on top of the filling. Fold the edges of the tortillas over to cover the filling, and then use another baking sheet to press on top of the quesadilla to flatten it gently. Bake your quesadilla at 425 degrees for 20 to 25 minutes until everything is heated through and the cheese is melted. Remove it from the heat, let it cool slightly, and then serve this up with sour cream and chipotle aioli!
