Chicken Quesadilla Bites

Chicken quesadilla bites are a crispy and cheesy appetizer that turns a favorite Mexican-inspired meal into party-friendly finger food. Seasoned chicken, melted cheese, and soft tortillas are baked or pan-cooked until golden, then cut into bite-size wedges. They are easy to prepare and are always popular at game nights, family gatherings, and casual celebrations. 

Ingredients

  • 2 cups cooked shredded chicken
  • 1 cup shredded Mexican cheese blend
  • ½ cup salsa
  • ¼ cup diced bell pepper
  • ¼ teaspoon cumin
  • ¼ teaspoon chili powder
  • 6 medium flour tortillas
  • 1 tablespoon oil or melted butter
  • Sour cream (guacamole, and salsa, for serving)

Instructions 

  • Combine shredded chicken, salsa, bell pepper, cumin, and chili powder in a bowl. Place one tortilla in a lightly oiled skillet over medium heat. Spread chicken filling over half of the tortilla, add cheese, and fold it over. Cook for 2 to 3 minutes per side until the tortilla is crisp and the cheese melts. Repeat with the remaining tortillas. Let the quesadillas rest for two minutes, then cut each one into small triangles. 

Notes

Serve warm with sour cream, guacamole, pico de gallo, or extra salsa. Keep the bites warm in a low-temperature oven if serving a large group. Add corn, black beans, or jalapeños to the filling for additional flavor.
