These mini chicken quesadilla bites are perfect for parties, a quick dinner, or a casual snack. Crispy on the outside, with a creamy, cheesy, and flavorful chicken filling on the inside. They are easy to make and guaranteed to be a hit with anyone who tries them. Prepare them in advance or fresh in minutes!

Steps

Prepare the Filling

Heat 1 tbsp of olive oil in a skillet over medium heat. Add the finely diced red onion and bell pepper, and sauté for 3-5 minutes until softened. Add the shredded chicken, ground cumin, chili powder, smoked paprika, salt, and pepper. Mix well and cook for another 2-3 minutes to combine the flavors. Remove from heat.

Assemble Quesadillas

Heat a clean skillet over medium heat, or use the same skillet after wiping it clean. Place one mini tortilla in the skillet. Sprinkle a layer of grated cheese, then add a portion of the chicken filling. Top with a little more cheese, then cover with another mini tortilla. Gently press down.

Cook and Serve

Cook the quesadilla for 2-3 minutes on each side, until golden brown and the cheese is melted and bubbly. Repeat the process with the remaining quesadillas, adding a little more olive oil to the skillet if needed. Cut the finished quesadillas into quarters, sprinkle with fresh cilantro (if using), and serve immediately with lime wedges.
