Ingredients
  

  • 1.5-2 Chicken Breasts
  • 5-6 Burrito Sized Shells
  • 2 Cups Fiesta Blend Cheese Amounts will vary with preferences
  • 2 tsp Mild Taco Sauce I love the Taco Bell brand
  • 1 tbsp Salsa Amounts will vary with preferences
  • 1 Cup Taco Bell Quesadilla Sauce Amounts will vary with preferences
  • 2 tbsp Chicken Broth
  • 2 tsp Taco Seasoning
  • 1 tbsp Ranch Amounts will vary with preferences

Equipment

  • 1 Ninja Foodi Substitute with an Instant Pot, a pot of boiling water, etc.
  • 1 Pan

Method
 

  1. Place chicken breasts in the Ninja Foodi. Push the "pressure" button, and let thawed chicken cook for 8 minutes.
    If chicken is frozen, let the breasts cook for 13 minutes.
  2. After chicken is cooked, shred it. Pour chicken broth and seasoning salt in the chicken, and mix well. Then spoon chicken out onto burrito shells. Top with desired toppings (I used spinach, cheese, and ranch). Grill quesadilla in a pan on medium heat with butter until golden brown.
  3. Add taco seasoning to chicken. Mix well. Spoon chicken out on half burrito shell, sprinkle with cheese, and fold shell in half. Grill quesadilla in a pan on medium heat with butter until golden brown.
  4. Spoon chicken out onto half of the burrito shell. Top with salsa, cheese, and taco sauce. Fold burrito in half, and grill in butter on the stove until golden brown.
  5. Spoon chicken out onto half of the burrito shell. Top with taco sauce, cheese, and Taco Bell Copycat Quesadilla sauce. Fold the burrito in half, and place on the grill in butter. Cook until golden brown.
  6. Repeat the process for the rest of the chicken for any quesadillas you want to do multiples of. If you'd like to make a big batch of burritos, cook extra chicken.

Notes

The quesadilla toppings will vary depending on what you have on hand! I used some frozen spinach (I didn't have fresh on hand) in my Cheesy Chicken Ranch quesadilla. 
The amounts listed are estimates; if you like more cheese, feel free to add more :)
I'll have a link for the Taco Bell Copycat Chicken Quesadilla sauce. You can also watch my reels on Facebook, Instagram, or Tiktok see how I make it :)
