Ingredients
1 (10 ounce) can red enchilada sauce
¼ cup water
1 (1.25 ounce) package reduced-sodium taco seasoning mix
2 skinless, boneless chicken breasts
1 (10 ounce) package 8- to 10-inch flour tortillas
1 (12 ounce) bag shredded Mexican cheese blend
Directions
Combine enchilada sauce, water, and taco seasoning in a slow cooker. Cut chicken breasts in half lengthwise and add to the slow cooker. Cook on Low until chicken is tender, 4 to 5 hours.
Remove chicken and shred using 2 forks. Return chicken to sauce in the slow cooker; mix well.
Spoon some of the chicken mixture onto a tortilla. Sprinkle some of the cheese on top. Cover with another tortilla.
Heat a large nonstick skillet over medium heat. Slide quesadilla into the hot skillet. Cook until browned on both sides, 2 to 4 minutes, flipping halfway through. Repeat with remaining tortillas, chicken, and cheese.
