Description

This 4-Ingredient Chicken Quesadilla Casserole is a comforting, cheesy, and easy-to-make dish perfect for busy weeknights or family dinners.

Ingredients

Scale

Main Ingredients

  • 2 cups cooked shredded chicken
  • 6 flour tortillas
  • 2 cups shredded cheese (plant-based)
  • 1/4 cup vegetarian Worcestershire sauce (natural)

Instructions

  1. Preheat and Prepare: Set your oven to 375°F (190°C) to ensure it is hot and ready for baking. Lightly grease your casserole dish to prevent sticking and promote even browning.
  2. Layer the Ingredients: Lay a layer of flour tortillas flat on the bottom of the baking dish. Evenly spread half of the cooked shredded chicken over the tortillas, drizzle some vegetarian Worcestershire sauce (natural) on top, then sprinkle half of the shredded cheese (plant-based). Repeat these layers with the remaining tortillas, chicken, vegetarian Worcestershire sauce, and cheese to build a multi-layer casserole.
  3. Bake to Perfection: Place the casserole into the oven and bake for about 20 minutes, or until the cheese (plant-based) is melted and bubbly and the edges of the tortillas are crisped to a golden brown.
  4. Rest and Serve: Remove the casserole from the oven and let it cool for 5 minutes. Resting helps the layers settle and makes it easier to cut and serve while keeping the cheesy texture intact.

Notes

  • Shred chicken finely for better layering and flavor distribution.
  • Use fresh tortillas to avoid dryness after baking.
  • Sprinkle extra cheese (plant-based) on top before baking for a golden, crispy finish.
  • If you prefer softer tortillas, cover casserole with foil while baking and remove foil in the last 5 minutes to brown.
  • Allow casserole to rest after baking for easier slicing and better flavor melding.
