So the next day that is just what we did! Connor was a champ chopping, and cooking the

Easy Chicken & Cheese Quesadillas Cooked In A Waffle Iron

Prep Time 10 mins

Cook Time 5 mins

Total Time 15 mins

Servings: 6

  • 1 small rotisserie chicken
  • 1 green pepper seeded and chopped
  • 1 medium Vidalia onion chopped
  • 2 TBS grapeseed or olive oil divided
  • Salt & pepper
  • 12 - 6- inch diameter flour tortillas
  • 8 oz package of shredded Mexican cheese
  • Salsa

  • Pull apart your chicken, getting all of the meat off of it. Lightly shred it with your fingers. Season it and set it aside.

  • Saute the peppers and onions in 1 TBS oil for 4 minutes.  Set aside.

  • Heat your waffle iron.

  • Meanwhile, lightly coat one side of each tortilla with oil and season with salt & pepper. Once iron is ready, lay one tortilla oil side down on the griddle then spoon on some peppers & onions, then add the chicken, then add about 1/4-1/3 cup of cheese. Top with another tortilla (oil side up and gently close the waffle iron putting more and more pressure in it. Hold for 30 seconds.

  • Allow it to continue cooking other 2-3 minutes or so, putting pressure on it every now and again. Once the tortilla looks done to your liking (with some brown spots, remove it with a small spatula and place it on a plate for a minute.

  • Use a sharp knife to cut it into 4 triangles right along the waffle marks.

  • Serve with salsa and repeat until full.

For me, 1 large green pepper, 1 medium Vidalia onion, 1 8 oz bag of shredded cheese and 1 rotisserie chicken make 6 - 6-inch quesadillas.
I used a circular, non-stick "Belgian-style waffle iron for these.
Don't worry if any cheese oozes out...as soon as the waffle iron cooks it, it comes right off, crispy. Just flick it with a fork.

Enjoy!!
