10 Minute Chicken Quesadillas with Mango
This family-favorite recipe for chicken quesadillas starts with soft flour tortillas filled with sriracha-seasoned chicken, shredded cheese, and freshly diced mango. Pan-seared until melted and steaming hot, for a slightly sweet and savory Tex-Mex inspired dish.

Ingredients
- 2 cups rotisserie chicken (shredded, about 2 chicken breasts)
- 1 tablespoon sriracha sauce
- 1 mango (diced)
- 2 tablespoons cilantro (chopped)
- ½ jalapeno (diced)
- 1 cup pepper jack or colby jack cheese (shredded)
- 1 cup cheddar cheese (shredded)
- 6 flour tortillas - 6 inch
- 1 tablespoon Olive oil
- sour cream (optional)
- Ground chipotle powder (optional)
- Green onions (optional)
Instructions
- Place shredded chicken in a bowl and add sriracha, mixing so that the chicken is fully coated.
- Place chicken on half of each tortilla. Sprinkle with jalapenos, cilantro and mango. Add the cheese and fold the tortilla in half.
- Add about a tablespoon of oil to a large skillet and heat over medium to low heat. Add folded tortillas and cook until slightly brown, then flip and heat the other side, about 2 minutes per side or until they have browned and the cheese has melted.
- Slice in 2 or 3 pieces, then top with sour cream, chopped green onions, and a sprinkle of ground chipotle powder.
Barbara's Notes + Tips
- Use room temperature or even slightly warm ingredients to help them cook quicker without burning your tortillas.
- For extra cheesy quesadillas, you can add a little more grated cheese before you set your chicken on the tortilla so you have melted cheese on both sides.
- Keep the cooked quesadillas warm until it's time to serve them by setting them on a baking sheet in a 250°F oven. Cover with foil so they don't dry out.
