- Remove chicken from crock pot leaving juices in crock pot. In a bowl, shred chicken and add ½ cup barbecue sauce and green chilis.
- When ready to assemble the quesadilla, do the following:
- Heat your griddle to 350 degrees, (I use an electric griddle but you can do this also on a frying pan).
- Spray one side of your tortilla with cooking spray.
- On side not sprayed, put ¼ cup shredded cheese on half of the tortilla and top with the chicken mixture.
- Fold tortilla in half and place on griddle to cook.
- Cook about 3-4 minutes on each side, or until cheese is melted and chicken is heated through.
- If cooking several at a time and need to keep warm, place on cookie sheet, cover with foil and place in 300 degree oven to keep warm.
- When ready to serve, cut each tortilla in half and serve with salsa, sour cream and top with green onions. Enjoy!
