Heat a large skillet over medium to high heat and add 1 tablespoon of oil.

Add 1 pound of chicken tenders to the skillet and spread them out to brown.

Cook the chicken for about 3 to 5 minutes on each side until browned.

Season the chicken with 2 tablespoons of taco seasoning and cook until the chicken is cooked through.

Remove the chicken from the skillet and cut it into smaller pieces for the quesadillas.

Heat a griddle (or clean the skillet) for making the quesadillas.

Place two burrito-sized tortillas on the griddle.

Add a little bit of Mexican shredded cheese on one side of each tortilla.

Spread the cooked chicken on top of the cheese, then add more cheese on top of the chicken.

Fold the tortillas in half and press down to help the cheese melt and stick everything together.

Cook for about 3 to 4 minutes until the bottom is golden brown, then flip and cook for another 3 minutes until golden brown on both sides.

Transfer to a cutting board and cut into thirds.
