Yummy Taco Bell Quesadilla Recipe

Taco Bell is well-known for its quick and easy Tex-Mex comfort cuisine. It's easy to see why we all love it so much with nacho fries and Doritos Locos Tacos.

These toasted triangles are thick, cheesy, and utterly delicious.

And if you feel the same way I do about these quesadillas, you're in luck.

Instructions

1. Make the sauce. Combine mayonnaise, jalapenos, jalapeno juice, sugar, cumin, paprika, cayenne pepper, and garlic powder in a mixing bowl. Whisk until the mixture is smooth and fully blended. Seasonings can be adjusted to taste.
   
   
2. Grill the chicken in olive oil. Slice into tiny strips.
   
   
3. Preheat the skillet to medium-high heat. Place the tortilla in the griddle and top with 1/4 cup cheddar and 1/4 cup Monterey Jack cheeses. On one side of the tortilla, place 1/2 piece of American cheese.
   
   
4. Place 1/4 of the chicken on top of the American cheese. 1 tablespoon of the sauce should be spread on the other side of the tortilla.
   
   
5. With a spatula, fold the tortilla over, sauce side up. Cook until the cheese is melted and the tortilla bottom is toasted. To toast the other side, flip the tortilla over for 30 seconds to 1 minute. Cook all four quesadillas in the same manner.
   
   
6. Make triangles out of the quesadillas. Serve right away and enjoy!
