Mini Green Chile Chicken Quesadillas

These mini green chile chicken quesadillas filled with gooey cheese are the perfect party food and so simple to make! 

Mini Green Chile Chicken Quesadillas

I created these mini quesadillas because I needed to clean out my fridge. We had leftover chicken from our previous night’s dinner, along with some salsa, green chiles, mini flour tortillas, and ripe avocados from a taco night a few nights earlier. I grabbed everything along with a few other items and threw together these cheesy mini green chile chicken quesadillas. They were served with guacamole, salsa, sour cream, & pickled jalapenos and they disappeared in no time.  Guess what I’ll be making for the upcoming Super Bowl Sunday?

Assemble the quesadillas by adding a heaping spoonful of the filling to a tortilla and folding it over into a half-moon shape. Repeat. Arrange the quesadillas on the prepared baking sheet.
