Instructions

Pre-Preparation

  1. Thaw diced chicken, cheese, and tortillas.
  2. Refrigerate salsa.
  3. Preheat oven to 350°F.

Preparation

  1. In a large bowl or in a Hobart mixer with the paddle attachment, combine chicken, cheese, and salsa; mix well.
  2. Lay tortillas flat on a clean work table.
  3. Using a #8 disher, place 3 oz of filling on one half of each tortilla. Dip the disher in water between scoops for consistent portions.
  4. Spread the filling evenly over half of the tortilla, stopping 1/2 inch from the edge; fold the tortilla over.
  5. Place 15 quesadillas per pan on parchment-lined sheet pans (3×5).
  6. If preparing ahead or transporting out: cover with parchment and foil, wrap tightly to seal edges, label, date, and refrigerate until transport or service.
  7. When ready to serve, heat quesadillas at 350°F for about 10 minutes, or until the internal temperature reaches 165°F.
  8. Let rest for 5 minutes to allow the cheese to set.
  9. Cut the quesadillas in half.
  10. Hold hot until service at 140°F or higher.
