Instructions:

Spread creamy garlic sauce evenly on each tortilla. Add cooked chicken on one half of each tortilla. Sprinkle shredded cheddar and mozzarella cheeses over the chicken. - Fold and Cook:

- Use a non-stick skillet or griddle to ensure the tortillas crisp up nicely without sticking.
Storage Options:
- Quesadillas are best enjoyed fresh but can be stored in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 2 days. Reheat in a skillet or microwave until heated through.
