Quesadillas are a staple meal in my house on nights when we don’t feel like cooking, and canned chicken makes it easy to add some protein without making a trip to the store.

Instructions
Step 1
Drain the chicken well and place it in a bowl. Flake the chicken with a fork to break it up into shreds, and then stir in the salsa and shredded cheese. You can additionally season with anything you’d like such as garlic powder, black pepper or chili powder.
Step 2
Place half of the tortillas on a flat work surface and top each one with an even amount of the cheesy chicken mixture.
Step 3
Heat a large skillet over medium heat with a small amount of butter, and add one chicken topped tortilla at a time and cook for a few minutes. Top with another tortilla, and then flip. Continue to cook until the cheese is melted and the tortillas are golden brown.
Step 4
Enjoy with sour cream or guacamole!
