    Here's an easy recipe for sheet pan chicken quesadillas that you can put together in no time. Perfect for a Sunday game day or any family dinner or gathering.

    We are big fans of Mexican cuisine and often there are more than just a few of us getting together to watch the game or celebrate a birthday. This easy sheet pan quesadilla recipe is just the thing for serving several people. And you can easily place a few of them in the oven at the same time.

    Making Sheet Pan Quesadillas

    The recipe uses rotisserie chicken to save time, but you can also saute boneless, skinless chicken if you want. It is also obviously baked and not fried in a pan making this just a little healthier.

    Chicken, peppers, onion and spices cooking in a large pan on the stove.

    It's one of those recipes that you can really adapt to your preference. I used tomatoes, green peppers, onions, garlic, and several different spices for the filling. However, you can easily substitute and/or leave some of the ingredients out.

    Flour tortillas laid out all over a sheet pan with the edges hanging off the sides.

    The key to making this in a sheet pan is layering your tortillas over the pan with the outside tortillas hanging off the edge.

    Shredded cheese on top of the tortilla layer.

    Cheese goes down first. This will help the mixture stick to the tortillas, and well, you can never have too much cheese.

    Chicken and vegetable mixture over the cheese and tortillas.

    Next, you add your filling.

    Final layer of shredded cheese on top of the chicken and vegetable mixture.

    Followed by more cheese.

    Two tortillas set in the middle of the open quesadilla.

    Add two additional tortillas to the middle.

    Edges of the tortillas are folded over to close the mix inside with wooden toothpicks holding them in place.

    Then fold over the edges and use toothpicks to hold them there. Once the sheet pan quesadilla is baked the tortillas will stay in place and you can remove the toothpicks.

    Quesadilla Filling Options

    • Change up the protein. Use ground beef, turkey or shrimp.
    • Use different types of peppers, hot peppers like jalapenos for those who like it spicy would be great.
    • Try different spices. Coriander, oregano, cinnamon, and ground poblanos are a few I use in chili that would work great here.
    • Change up the cheese. Use just one cheese such as cheddar or make up your own mix of Mexican cheeses such as Manchego or Queso asadero, or Queso Oaxaca.

    Topping Bar Ideas

    If you want you can create a topping bar and let everyone add as much as they want to their quesadilla.

    • Sour cream
    • Pickled jalapeno pepper rings
    • Chopped tomatoes
    • Salsa
    • Chopped onions
    • Cilantro
    • Gaucamole
    • Pico de Gallo

    This is an easy way to make something delicious to serve your friends and family for a party or a nice any day of the week dinner.

    And it's also a great make-ahead recipe. Prepare a few batches early then pop them in the oven later when it's time to eat.
