Preparation

  1. In a medium bowl, stir together the chicken and taco seasoning and set aside.
  2. Heat a large skillet over medium heat, then coat with non-stick cooking spray.
  3. Assemble the quesadillas: In the pan, lay one tortilla flat and top half of the tortilla with about 3-4 Tablespoons of the shredded Gouda Gruyere. Spread 1/4 of the chicken evenly on top of the cheese, then top with another 3-4 Tablespoons of shredded Gouda Gruyere. Fold the empty tortilla half over the toppings, pressing gently. 
  4. Cook the quesadillas: Cook on the first side until golden and crisp, adjusting the heat as needed so the quesadillas are crisp but do not burn (about 2-4 minutes, depending upon your stove). Carefully flip and cook the other side for about 2 more minutes, until that side is also a light golden brown.
  5. Transfer the cooked quesadilla to a cutting board and repeat with the remaining ingredients.
  6. Let the quesadillas cool for a few minutes before cutting with a sharp knife or pizza cutter into pie-shaped wedges.
  7. Enjoy hot with toppings of choice.
