You can buy a premade Picante sauce or make your own at home. We recommend buying some to save some time. But, the homemade versions allow you to customize the flavor to your liking.
This Campbell's chicken quesadillas recipe makes folded mini quesadillas. If you want to make regular (traditional) quesadillas, you can use the following assembly techniques.
First, make sure that your sauce isn't too wet. Then, place a single heated tortilla on a flat surface.
Add about 1/2-2/3 cup of filling to the tortilla. Spread it over the entire surface, but again, leave a border. Sprinkle over some grated cheese. Add another warmed tortilla on top of the filling. Then, you can either toast the tortilla in a pan or inside the oven.
To warm your tortillas isn't necessary, but it makes them much easier to work with. You can heat them inside the microwave for 10-20 seconds. They shouldn't brown or become crispy.
