Instructions
1

Begin by shredding the leftover chicken into bite-sized pieces. In a mixing bowl, combine the shredded chicken with diced pineapple, chopped cilantro, and a sprinkle of chili powder for a spicy kick.

2

Heat a large skillet over medium heat and add a teaspoon of olive oil. Place a tortilla in the skillet and layer half of the chicken and pineapple mixture on one half of the tortilla.

3

Sprinkle with shredded cheese and fold the tortilla over. Cook for about 3-4 minutes until the bottom is golden brown, then flip and cook for another 3-4 minutes until the cheese is melted.

4

Remove the quesadilla from the skillet and repeat the process with the remaining tortillas and filling.

5

While the quesadillas are cooking, prepare the avocado cream by blending ripe avocados, sour cream, lime juice, and a pinch of salt until smooth.

6

Once all quesadillas are cooked, stack them on a serving plate, drizzle with avocado cream, and garnish with extra cilantro and lime wedges.

7

Serve immediately for a delicious and visually appealing meal!
