3 min03:00 - 3
Grate and mix the string cheese and kashar cheese.
- 4
Put cheese, the chicken mixture, and more cheese on one half of each tortilla, then fold the other half over it.
- 5
Cook the folded tortillas in a dry pan for 2 minutes on each side, until browned and the cheese melts.
4 min04:00 - 6
Drizzle with lime juice, cut into triangles, and serve hot.
💡 Tip: If you cannot find Oaxaca cheese, use string cheese with a little kashar; kashar alone can release oil and make the tortilla heavy.
🍽️ Serving suggestion: Cut the quesadillas into triangles and make a quick dinner plate with tomato salsa, strained yogurt lime sauce, and ayran if desired.
