Cut the chicken breasts in half lengthwise to promote even cooking. Place the chicken into the slow cooker, ensuring it's submerged in the sauce mixture. Cook on Low for 4 to 5 hours, or until the chicken is incredibly tender and easily shredded. (4 hours 5 minutes)
03 Step

Remove the cooked chicken from the slow cooker and shred it using two forks. Return the shredded chicken to the sauce in the slow cooker and stir well to coat. (5 minutes)
04 Step

Warm a large nonstick skillet over medium heat. (2 minutes)
05 Step

Spoon a generous amount of the chicken mixture onto a tortilla. Sprinkle liberally with the shredded Mexican cheese blend. Top with another tortilla to create a quesadilla. (3 minutes)
06 Step
Recipe View
Carefully slide the quesadilla into the hot skillet. Cook for 2 to 4 minutes per side, or until the tortilla is golden brown and crispy and the cheese is melted and gooey. Flip the quesadilla halfway through cooking. (4 minutes)
07 Step
Recipe View
Remove the cooked quesadilla from the skillet and let it cool slightly before slicing into wedges. Repeat with the remaining tortillas, chicken, and cheese. (5 minutes)
For an extra layer of flavor, try adding a can of diced tomatoes or some chopped bell peppers to the slow cooker.
If you prefer a spicier quesadilla, use a hot enchilada sauce or add a pinch of cayenne pepper to the taco seasoning mix.
Serve with your favorite toppings, such as salsa, sour cream, guacamole, diced onions, black olives, or a squeeze of lime juice.
These quesadillas are also great for meal prepping! Assemble the quesadillas and store them in the refrigerator for a quick and easy lunch or dinner during the week.
