Cleanup is a breeze, and it’s a great way to make use of leftovers from a rotisserie chicken. The recipe can also be eaten as a snack when made in smaller batches.

‍

Instructions:

Warm the oven
- Pre-heat the oven to 200°F. We’ll use the oven to keep the quesadillas hot while you cook in batches.

‍

Mix the filling
- In a medium bowl, combine the chicken, cheese, and salsa.

‍

Assemble quesadillas
- Spread refried beans on half of a tortilla, then spoon some of the chicken mixture on top. Fold it over like a taco.
- Repeat with all the tortillas.

‍

Cook
- Heat 1 tablespoon of oil in a skillet over medium heat.
- Add a few quesadillas at a time to the skillet, and cook for 1–2 minutes per side until golden and crispy.
- Move quesadillas to the baking sheet and then the oven to stay warm while you finish the rest.
- Repeat until all the quesadillas are cooked.
