Prep Time: 15 mins
Cook Time: 20 mins
Total Time: 35 mins
Cuisine: Mexican
Serves: 4 servings
Ingredients
- 2 cups cooked chicken, shredded
- 1 cup shredded cheese
- 4 large tortillas
- 2 tablespoons Tabasco sauce
- 1/2 cup brownie mix
- 1/4 cup water
- Salt and pepper to taste
Instructions
- Begin by preparing all your ingredients. Ensure the cooked chicken is shredded and ready to use. Preheat your skillet or griddle over medium heat.
- In a mixing bowl, combine the shredded chicken with the Tabasco sauce. Mix well to ensure the chicken is evenly coated. Season with salt and pepper to taste.
- In another bowl, prepare the brownie mix by combining it with 1/4 cup of water. Stir until smooth and set aside.
- Take one tortilla and spread a portion of the Tabasco chicken mixture evenly over half of the tortilla. Sprinkle a generous amount of shredded cheese on top of the chicken.
- Fold the tortilla in half to create a half-moon shape, pressing down gently to seal the edges. Repeat this process with the remaining tortillas and filling.
- Once your skillet is heated, place the folded quesadilla in the skillet. Cook for about 3-4 minutes on each side, or until the tortilla is golden brown and the cheese is melted. You can press down gently with a spatula for even cooking.
- While the quesadilla is cooking, you can prepare the brownie mix. In a separate skillet or pan, pour the brownie mix and cook over low heat, stirring continuously until it thickens slightly. This will create a brownie-like sauce.
- Once the quesadillas are cooked, remove them from the skillet and let them cool for a minute before slicing into wedges.
- Serve the quesadillas warm, drizzled with the brownie sauce for a unique twist. You can also offer extra Tabasco sauce on the side for those who prefer more heat.
- Enjoy your Brownies Chicken Tabasco Quesadilla with your favorite sides or dips!
Tips
- Always use pre-cooked chicken to save time and ensure food safety.
- For extra crispy quesadillas, brush the outside of the tortillas with a little oil before cooking.
- Keep your heat at medium to prevent burning while ensuring the cheese melts perfectly.
- Use a non-stick skillet to make flipping and cleaning up easier.
- Let the quesadillas rest for a minute after cooking to help the cheese set and make cutting cleaner.
- Experiment with different cheese blends for more complex flavor profiles.
- If the brownie sauce is too thick, add a splash of milk to thin it out.
- Serve immediately for the best texture and temperature.
