A quick and easy recipe for crispy, cheesy chicken quesadillas cooked on a Blackstone griddle, perfect for family dinners or casual get-togethers.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 2 boneless, skinless chicken breasts, thinly sliced
  • 1 teaspoon chili powder
  • 1 teaspoon cumin
  • ½ teaspoon smoked paprika
  • ½ teaspoon garlic powder
  • Salt and pepper to taste
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil
  • 6 large flour tortillas
  • 2 cups shredded Mexican blend cheese or sharp cheddar
  • Optional: diced jalapeños, chopped cilantro, sliced green onions
  • Sides: sour cream, guacamole, or salsa for serving

Instructions

  1. Thinly slice chicken breasts into bite-sized strips. Toss with olive oil, chili powder, cumin, smoked paprika, garlic powder, salt, and pepper. Mix well and let sit for 5 minutes.
  2. Preheat Blackstone griddle to medium-high heat, about 375°F (190°C).
  3. Spread seasoned chicken strips evenly on the griddle. Cook undisturbed for 3-4 minutes, then flip and cook another 3-4 minutes until cooked through and slightly charred.
  4. Remove chicken and clean griddle surface if needed. Lay one tortilla flat on the griddle, sprinkle cheese over half, add cooked chicken, then more cheese on top. Fold tortilla over to form a half-moon.
  5. Press gently with spatula and cook for 3-4 minutes until bottom is golden and crispy. Flip and cook other side until cheese melts and tortilla is crispy.
  6. Remove quesadilla from griddle, let rest for a minute, then slice into wedges. Serve warm with sour cream, guacamole, or salsa.

Notes

If tortillas brown too fast, lower heat to avoid burning while allowing cheese to melt. Use a large, thin metal spatula for flipping. Layer cheese on both sides of chicken for better adhesion. Clean griddle between batches to prevent bitterness. For gluten-free, use corn tortillas but note they crisp differently.
