Ingredients
  

2 cups cooked chicken, shredded (rotisserie chicken works great)

1 cup BBQ sauce (mild, for kid-friendly taste)

1 cup corn kernels (fresh, canned, or frozen)

1 cup shredded cheese (cheddar or Monterey Jack)

4 large flour tortillas

1 tablespoon olive oil or cooking spray

1 teaspoon garlic powder (optional)

1 teaspoon onion powder (optional)

Salsa and sour cream for serving (optional)

Instructions
 

Prepare the Filling: In a medium mixing bowl, combine the shredded chicken, BBQ sauce, corn, garlic powder, and onion powder. Mix well until all the ingredients are combined.

    Heat a Skillet: In a large skillet, heat a tablespoon of olive oil over medium heat or spray with cooking spray.

      Assemble the Quesadillas: Place one tortilla in the skillet. On one half of the tortilla, sprinkle a quarter of the shredded cheese, and then layer a quarter of the BBQ chicken and corn mixture on top. Sprinkle another quarter of cheese on top of the filling, then fold the tortilla in half over the filling.

        Cook the Quesadillas: Cook for about 3-4 minutes, or until the bottom is golden brown and the cheese is melting. Carefully flip the quesadilla using a spatula and cook the other side for an additional 3-4 minutes until golden and crispy.

          Repeat: Remove the quesadilla from the skillet and place it on a cutting board. Repeat the process with the remaining tortillas and filling, adding more oil or cooking spray to the skillet as needed.

            Serve: Cut each quesadilla into wedges and serve warm with salsa and sour cream on the side, if desired.
