Ingredients

1 ½ pounds chicken breast diced into small cubes
1 Tablespoon olive oil
1 ounce taco seasoning (1 package)
2 cups Mexican Cheese shredded
¼ cup salsa
4 flour tortillas burrito size

Instructions

Preheat the Blackstone griddle over medium high heat.
Cut the chicken into small cubes and put in a medium mixing bowl. Add the taco seasoning to the chicken and mix until all the chicken is coated with taco seasoning.
Spread the olive oil onto the griddle. Place the chicken onto the oiled griddle in an even layer. Sauté the chicken for 3-4 minutes per side until it's browned slightly.
Then top the chicken with salsa and toss the chicken to thoroughly coat the chicken with the salsa. Continue to cook the chicken until it's cooked through (internal temperature of 165 degrees Fahrenheit) for approximately 3-4 more minutes.
Push the chicken to a cooler side of the griddle. Reduce the Blackstone temperature to medium low.
Place the tortillas on the griddle. Top each tortilla with some cheese, then layer the chicken on top and then add more cheese. Carefully fold each tortilla in half making a half moon shape.
Cook until one side of the tortilla is golden brown (1-2 minutes). Flip and then cook until the other side is golden brown as well (1-2 minutes). Watch them closely as they brown quickly.
Remove the quesadillas onto a cutting board. Slice them and serve immediately

Notes

STORAGE

Fridge: Place leftovers into an airtight container or zip top plastic bag and store in the fridge for 4-5 days.

Freezer: Transfer leftovers to a freezer bag or airtight container once they have completely cooled. Freeze for up to 2 months. Allow to thaw completely before reheating.

To reheat, place in the oven or on the stove top until warmed through. You can warm the quesadilla in the microwave if you prefer, but it will likely make the tortilla a bit soggy.
