Steps

1

Combine all the ingredients for the sauce and let sit in the refrigerator for at least an hour.
2

Season chicken with taco seasoning on both sides and pan fry in olive oil until cooked through. Remove from heat and chop into smaller pieces.
3

Preheat a large nonstick skillet over medium heat.
4

One at a time, place a tortilla in preheated skillet and sprinkle 1/2 of the tortilla with both of the shredded cheeses and 1/2 of the American slice. (I usually eyeball this because I tend to like mine on the cheesier side)
5

Place about 1/4 cup of chopped chicken on the same half as the cheese.
6

On the empty side of the tortilla spread the sauce. I use about 1 1/2 tablespoons (that's the best part of a Taco Bell Quesadilla and they NEVER put enough on!!!).
7

Fold the quesadilla over in 1/2 and pat down with a spatula.
8

Flip quesadilla over once to ensure both sides get crisped up.
9

Cook until the cheese is melted. Cut into 4 pieces and enjoy.
