Weekday dinners don’t need hours to prepare. Here’s a toaster oven quesadilla recipe that you can make in under 35 minutes. Serves 4 people.

What you need for this quesadilla recipe:

2 cups of chicken meat, shredded and without skin

2 medium green onions

1 finely chopped pickled jalapeño pepper

1 1/2 cups shredded cheese (preferably Monterey Jack)

3/4 cup green sauce

1/2 cup sour cream reduced

1/4 cup chopped fresh coriander leaves

4 tortillas the size of a burrito

General instructions for this recipe:

Start by preheating the toaster oven to about 425 degrees Fahrenheit.

We have a work surface, we cut green onions into thin strips. Set the dark green tips of the onions aside, about 2 tablespoons, to use as a garnish.

Lay the burrito-size flour tortillas on a flat surface, then spread even proportions of shredded chicken meat, jalapeno peppers, cheese, cilantro, and green onions on one side of each tortilla. Then fold in the other half of the tortilla. Set aside.

Prepare the baking sheet by lining it with a single layer aluminum foil. Place the prepared tortillas on the foil lined tray and set the timer. This recipe requires 8 to 10 minutes to cook. Heat the tortilla until the cooking time is finished or until the tortillas are golden brown or the cheese is melted. Remove from the oven.

Next, place each quesadilla on a flat surface and cut it in half. Place on a plate and serve with salsa verde with sour cream. To add a final touch to this toaster oven quesadilla recipe, sprinkle on green onions.
